GbGb EbmEbm AbmAbm E MajorE
Guess we all are born with parts to play
GbGb AbmAbm E MajorE DbmDbm
Some of us are stars and some are just in
the way
BB BbmBbm
I know I was meant for glory
EbmEbm AbAb DbDb
But that's never what my story brings
DbDb
And yet I keep on waiting
GbGb EbmEbm E MajorE DbmDbm
When you have the passion and the drive
GbGb EbmEbm E MajorE DbmDbm
You expect your moment, center stage, to
arrive
BB BbmBbm
I show up with heart a-blazing
EbmEbm AbAb DbDb
Ready to achieve amazing things
DbmDbm GbGb
But I'm left waiting in the wings
GbGb DbDb GbGb
I hear my cue
BB
And yet I'm kept there waiting

Know what to do

And still I stand there waiting
EbmEbm Bb majorBb DbDb C minorCm B minorBm
It's always someone else who sings

While I'm left waiting in the wings

My chances come and then I blink and they're gone

Always overlooked unfairly

While pretending that it barely stings

But it stings, yes, it stings!
AbAb BbmBbm AbAb
And I'll shed no tears

If no one cheers

Who cares how loud

The silence rings

You'll find me waiting in the wings
