Am C
I gotta keep myself
Dm Em
in check sometimes
Am C
‘Cause’ I tend to dream
Dm Em
real big sometimes
Am
The fancy outfits
C
and the sparkly awards
Dm
My name in lights
Em
the people lined up at the doors
Am C
But I gotta remember
Dm Em
to take it one step at a time
(Chorus)
A
‘Cause people seem to think
Dm
That you’ll be happier
C
once you reach the top
Em
You’ll have it all
A
But I’m living for right now
Dm
‘Cause what if tomorrow never comes
C Em
I’m not waiting, I’m not waiting
A C Dm Em
For the confetti to fall
(Intro) Am C Dm Em
Am C
I can’t just sit around
Dm Em
and wait for my life to start
Am
I can make a difference,
C Dm
put a little happiness
Em
in someone’s heart
Am
The fancy cars,
C
the glitter and the fame
Dm
It’s all nice,
Em
but it won’t be worth a thing
Am
Love is bigger,
C Dm Em
so I’mma stand up for love, yeah
(Chorus)
A
‘Cause people seem to think
Dm
That you’ll be happier
C
once you reach the top
Em
You’ll have it all
A
But I’m living for right now
Dm
‘Cause what if tomorrow never comes
C Em
I’m not waiting, I’m not waiting
For the confetti to fall
(Intro) Am Bm C Dm Em
Am Bm C Dm Em
Am Bm C Dm Em
Am Bm C Dm Em
Am
If there was a rope
C
stretching up to the sky
Dm
With all of my dreams
Em
at the very top, so high
Am C
I get so caught up
Dm Em
in everything around me, moving quickly
Am C
I forget to cherish every single moment
Dm Em
I receive.. ooh..
Am
I forget about the climb,
C
I just wanna get there
Dm
Don’t wanna wait in line,
Em
even though it’s so clear
Am
That I’m called to use patience
C
on this journey that I’m on
Dm
I know that I’ll come out alive
Em Am
and it’ll only make me stronger
Bm C Dm Em
Oh oh, while everybody’s focused on the hype
Am Bm C Dm Em
Oh oh , oh oh.. I’ll be wondering why
(Chorus)
A
We seem to think
Dm
That you’ll be happier,
C
once you reach the top
Em
You’ll have it all
A
But I’m living for right now
Dm
‘Cause what if tomorrow never comes
C Em
I’m not waiting, I’m not waiting, no..
A
‘Cause people seem to think
Dm
That you’ll be happier,
C
once you reach the top
Em
You’ll have it all
A
But I’m living for right now
Dm
‘Cause what if tomorrow never comes
C Em
I’m not waiting, I’m not waiting
A Dm C E
For the confetti to fall..
A
I’m not waiting to be happy
Dm
nonono nonono nono nono nono
C Em
ooh Yeah no.. yeah
