C
i was meant for the stage ,
F C
i was meant for the curtain .
C Cmaj9 Am Am7/G
i was meant to tread these boards ,
F C
of this much i Am certain .

C
i was meant for the crowd ,
F C
i was meant for the shouting .
C Cmaj9 Am Am7/G
i was meant to raise these hands
F C G
with quiet all about me . oh , oh .

C
mother , please , be proud .
F C
father , be forgiven .
C Cmaj9 Am Am7/G
even though you told me ’son ,
F C G
you’ll never make a living . ’ oh , oh .

G F
from the floorboards to the fly ,
C
here i was fated to reside .
G
and as i take my final bow ,
C
was there ever any doubt?
F
and as the spotlights fade away ,
C
and you’re escorted through the foyer ,
G
you will resume your callow ways ,
C
but i was meant for the stage .

C
the heaven’s at my door .
F C
intended my for stardom .
C Cmaj9 Am Am7/G
rays of light shined down on me
F C
and all my sins were pardoned .

C
i was meant for applause .
F
i was meant for durigin .
C Cmaj9 Am Am7/G
nothing short of faded self has
F C G
affected my decision . oh , oh .

G F
from the floorboards to the fly ,
C
here i was fated to reside .
G
and as i take my final bow ,
C
was there ever any doubt?
F
and as the spotlights fade away ,
C
and you’re escorted through the foyer ,
G
you will resume your callow ways ,
C
but i was meant for the stage .
