The Reason I Sing(Chords)

	        

 G  C/G  G  Gº  C9  G  C/G  G 

                           G C/G G 
If its just to top a song chart 
                           Gº 
To feed the kids and get a bigger car 
                           C9 
The skies already have a lot of stars 
                       G C/G G 
And they all sing Your name 

                         G C/G G 
And if I'm here to write a #1 
                        Gº 
To get a gold or maybe platinum 
                        C9 
Make me a singer who is unsung 
                    G C/G G 
Cuz You won't share fame 

 
             Bm                  E 
Cuz even accolades someday will fade away 
    C#m             F#m 
Oh just like me 
Bm      E          A 
Yes everything but You, yeah 
                     Bm           E 
And many years from now it won't matter 
      C#m               F#m 
How I write the rhymes I do, yeah 
Bm                       E                 A 
Help me get back to the reason I sing for You 


                           G C/G G 
I'm always looking for the limelight 
                               Gº 
To dim my house and make the stages bright 
                             C9 
Compared to You I'm just a night light 
                    G C/G G 
Against the blazing sun 

                           G C/G G 
I enter rooms and hope they notice me 
                               Gº 
To fill my social insecurities 
                             C9 
I'm asking if there's any hope for me 
                    G C/G G 
Cuz there is room for only one 

(refrão) 

Why are we so convinced a bigger audience 
Is simply common sense to have? 
Maybe success is measured best 
By nothing less then our obedience 

                           G C/G G 
So if I'm destined for a small stage 
                               Gº 
The small crowds and the small pay 
                             C9 
Then maybe even in a small way 
                    G C/G G 
I can bring You fame 

(refrão)
