The Decemberists - I Was Meant For The Stage Chords

Play it softly and mean it - Brian

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.
