Capo for vocalist
[Intro]
F Am Dm C
[Verse 1]
F Am
I spend too much time thinking about
Dm C
who I'm supposed to be
F Am
I play by everybody's rules
Dm C
that don't seem right to me
F
I'm cool and polite
Am
on the outside
Dm
When I get a chance
C
I run and I hide
F
If your eyes are closed
Am Dm
it's hard to see
[Chorus]
F Am
What if I back down now
Dm C
'cause I'm afraid of what might happen
F C
What if they turn away
Dm
when I show them who I truly am
F C
What if I lose my breath
E Am
when I throw those big doors open
F G
Or tonight, just tonight
F
What if I shine?
Am Dm C
[Verse 2]
F
Should I even care?
Am
They're all sitting there
Dm C
and everyone's staring at me
F Am
If I step out in the spotlight
Dm
maybe I'll be set free
[Chorus]
F Am
What if I back down now
Dm C
'cause I'm afraid of what might happen
F C
What if they turn away
Dm
when I show them who I truly am
F C
What if I lose my breath
E Am
when I throw those big doors open
F G
Or tonight, just tonight
Ab Eb
What if I shine?
Bb F
I...
Ab Eb G
shine...
[Bridge]
F Am
I spend too much time thinking about
Dm C
who I'm supposed to be
[Chorus]
F Am
But what if I sing out loud?
Dm C
Because anything can happen
F C
What if I stand up proud
Dm
and I show them who I truly am?
F C
They're gonna call my name
E Am
and I'll throw these big doors open
F G
'Cause tonight, just tonight
Ab Eb
I'm gonna shine
Bb F
I...
Ab Eb
