G+G FF C majorC G+G


♫ Verse 1:
     G+G                 FF
Oh, I’ve been right where you are, putting miles on my car
C majorC                 G+G
Driving to some dead-end job each day
G+G              FF
Smiling for my tips, picking up those extra shifts
C majorC                 G+G
Waitressing all my best years away
   E minorEm        Dadd11      C majorC
Some nights I’ll buy a ticket and sit alone
    E minorEm        Dadd11     C majorC
In the Mother Church up in the highest row

♫ Chorus:
      G+G             FF
I’m in the cheap seats, watching the big show
      C majorC             G+G
Hoping that one day I’ll look back and know
      G+G            FF
That every big dream and every hard prayer
     C majorC             G+G
And every long road would deliver me up there
        G+G    FF
Singin’ for the cheap seats
        C majorC    G+G
Singin’ for the cheap seats

♫ Interlude:
G+G FF C majorC G+G

♫ Verse 2:
    G+G              FF
Halfway through a busy night I get a song idea to write
   C majorC                G+G
And I slip out back to get the chorus down
  G+G            FF
Now table twenty eight is complaining about the wait
    C majorC                G+G
And my manager just shakes his head and frowns
E minorEm        Dadd11      C majorC
I won’t let them have the best of me
  E minorEm         Dadd11        C majorC
One day I’ll quit this job and then they’ll see

♫ Chorus:
      G+G             FF
I’m in the cheap seats, watching the big show
      C majorC             G+G
Hoping that one day I’ll look back and know
      G+G            FF
That every big dream and every hard prayer
     C majorC             G+G
And every long road would deliver me up there
        G+G    FF
Singin’ for the cheap seats
        C majorC    G+G
Singin’ for the cheap seats

♫ Interlude:
G+G FF C majorC G+G

♫ Verse 3:
    G+G               FF
I’m so hungry I can taste it, want so badly just to make it
      C majorC                G+G
I’ve got a thousand songs inside me left to write
   G+G                 FF
Gotta find my voice and use it, set true North and do not lose it
  C majorC                  G+G
And keep that candle burnin’ through the night
    E minorEm    Dadd11    C majorC
I want everything before I’m ready
     E minorEm       Dadd11    C majorC
And it’ll only come once I am standing steady

♫ Chorus:
       G+G            FF
Here's to the cheap seats, now I'm the big show
        C majorC                 G+G
I wish I could go back and tell that girl that I know
      G+G            FF
That every big dream and every hard year
     C majorC             G+G
And every long road would deliver me up there
        G+G    FF
Singin’ for the cheap seats
        C majorC    G+G
Singin’ for the cheap seats
          G+G    FF

          C majorC    G+G
