Intro:
Cadd9
Ah-ah


Verse 1:
Cadd9
I was a singer
             G
You were my fan
                    Cadd9
When no one gave a damn
                   G
It was you in the dark
Cadd9
Scared of your anger
                   G
In love with your whim
                    Cadd9
Some notes I don't hit
                 G
But I don't give up

Pre-chorus:
       Cadd9
Now every day the plane takes off
       G             D
And every night the room fills up with
Cadd9
People who are convinced I'm not
 G              D                   Cadd9
Just some kid fakin' it for your love


Chorus:
                                   G        D         Cadd9
'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya
                                   G         D        Cadd9
Breaking my back just to be your favourite daughter
              G                D           Cadd9
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya
                                     G         D
Breaking my back just hoping you'll say I'm a star


Verse 2:
Cadd9         N.C.
You had a brother, I look like him
               Cadd9
You told us as kids
                 G
"He diеd of a broken heart"
         Cadd9
And for evеry door you open
           G
There's a room I can't go in
         C                      G   D
I break in, I still can't find you



Pre-chorus:
       Cadd9
Now that every day the plane takes off
       G             D
And every night the room fills up
Cadd9
I tell myself that soon we'll talk
 G              D                Cadd9
Then I sing every word just to ya


Chorus:
                                   G        D         Cadd9
'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya
                                   G         D        Cadd9
Panic attack just to be your favourite daughter
              G                D           Cadd9
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya
                                     G         D
Breaking my back to carry the weight of your heart


Bridge:
Am                                  Bm
But I keep dancing till I get sick
 C
Why'd you have to dream so big?
        D                               Em     D        C
Why did no one listen when you hit the notes from your heart?
                         Cadd9
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah


Chorus:
                                    G        D         Cadd9
I'm a good actress, look at the medals I won for ya
                                   G         D        Cadd9
So you could imagine being a favourite daughter
              G                D           Cadd9
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya
                                     G         D
Breaking my back just to be as brave as my mother
