Intro:
G Am Em C

(Verse 1)
G
You’re everything I wanna be,
Am
But that’s not true at all,
Em
I’ve held you high,
C
I built a lie,
G
You’re nothing like you used to be,
Am
And that’s not right at all,
Em
You’ve given in,
C
You’ve let them win,
C D
And I’m sorry that these words are coming out of my mouth,
C D
But I don’t want to be like you,
C D C D (Stop)
I’m sorry that I’m just now figuring out,

(Chorus)
D Em C
Someone else can save the world,
G D
I won’t sell my soul for this,
C
I wasn’t meant to make them happy,
D
I wasn’t meant to make them money,
D Em C
Someone else can let it all go,
G D
Trade themselves for one more show,
C D
But I wasn’t meant to throw myself away,
D Em C
For one meager shot at fame.
D

(Verse 2)
G
I thought you could think for yourself,
Am
And fight for what you loved,
Em
They’re using you,
C
You know they do,
G
And I don’t think I want to take,
D
The same road that you’re on,
Am Bm Em C
It can’t be worth, the way you hurt,
C D
And I’m sorry that these words are coming out of my mouth,
C D
But I don’t want to be like you,
C D C D
I’m sorry that I’m just now figuring out,

(Chorus)
D Em C
Someone else can save the world,
G D
I won’t sell my soul for this,
C
I wasn’t meant to make them happy,
D
I wasn’t meant to make them money,

D Em C
Someone else can let it all go,
G D
Trade themselves for one more show,
C D
But I wasn’t meant to throw myself away,

For one meager shot at fame.

(Bridge)
C D
Do you even remember why you wanted to get this far in the first place?
C D
Do you even remember why you wanted to be a rock star in the first place?
C
Well it’s not too late…

(Slower)

(Chorus)
Bm
Bm Em C
‘Cuz someone else can save the world,
G D
Don’t you sell yourself for this,
(Faster)
C
You weren’t meant to make them happy,
D C
You weren’t meant to make them money,
Em C
‘Cuz someone else can let it all go,

Trade themselves for one more show,

But you weren’t meant to throw yourself away,

No, we weren’t meant to throw ourselves away,
C Em
For one meager shot at fame.
C D Em C D
Oh, one meager shot at fame, fame oh, fame.
