[Intro]
 D   F#m/C#   Bm   Gx2
Mama Dalways told me, F#m/C#I was a fighter and Bmnothing could keep Gme down
She said Dnever say never, F#m/C#always knew better than to Bmkeep both feet Gon the ground
I'm just Done step behind reaching F#m/C#cloud number nine and gravi- Bmty's got nothing Gon me
The Dgirls gotta dream and you F#m/C#better believe the Bmlights are gonna shine on Gme
[Chorus]
Those thoughts of Dbroad ways and Alights around my Gname on the marquee
Keep me Dflying and I'm Atrying to be the Gbest this town has ever seen
DAnd I don't know how to Aget there, but I'll Bmget there, just Gwatch me
[Inst]
 D   F#m/C#   Bm   Gx2
When DI was bit younger, F#m/C#somebody told me, " BmGirl, you're wasting Gyour time"
He said," DNo one ever makes it in the F#m/C#show business and they're Bmgonna eat Gyou alive"
I stood Dforcing a smile for a F#m/C#little while, then Bmleft him with Ga wink
'Cause I Dknow, one day he'll F#m/C#see my face on the Bmcover of a Gmagazine
[Chorus]
Those thoughts of Dbroad ways and Alights around my Gname on the marquee
Keep me Dflying and I'm Atrying to be the Gbest this town has ever seen
DAnd I don't know how to Aget there, but I'll Bmget there, just Gwatch me
Inst.:
Bm A D G Bm A D G
I Bmwanna hear the crowd Asinging my Dsongs Gback to me
I Bmwanna play music, Aeveryday Dand Ggive another girl a dream
I Bmwanna show the world, Ayou can Dbe what you wanna be
[Chorus]
Those thoughts of Dbroad ways and Alights around my Gname on the marquee
Keep me Dflying and I'm Atrying to be the Gbest this town has ever seen
