Play it softly and mean it - Brian
DO
I was meant for the stage,
FA DO
I was meant for the curtain.
DO DOmaj9 LAm LAm7/SOL
I was meant to tread these boards,
FA DO
Of this much i am certain.
DO
I was meant for the crowd,
FA DO
I was meant for the shouting.
DO DOmaj9 LAm LAm7/SOL
I was meant to raise these hands
FA DO SOL
With quiet all about me. oh, oh.
DO
Mother, please, be proud.
FA DO
Father, be forgiven.
DO DOmaj9 LAm LAm7/SOL
Even though you told me 'Son,
FA DO SOL
you'll never make a living.' oh, oh.
SOL FA
From the floorboards to the fly,
DO
Here I was fated to reside.
SOL
And as I take my final bow,
DO
Was there ever any doubt?
FA
And as the spotlights fade away,
DO
And you're escorted through the foyer,
SOL
You will resume your callow ways,
DO
But I was meant for the stage.
