🎸 Intro:

G    Gsus4
G    C5


🎸 Verse:
      G                         Gsus4
Some don't believe I'm a living soul
        C                        G  Gsus4
Just a bad mistake that needs to go
       C
If my mama coulda just seen my face
       D
Maybe she woulda had me anyway

     G
And there are those who speak for me
     C                               G
Who fight for lives that they can't see
     C
But there are some who only mourn
      D
This life of mine if I were born


🎸 Chorus:
       G
All I wanted was a chance
             Am
To learn to love and laugh and dance
       C     G/B         Am
Oh but I was gone before I arrived
      C       G           Am  G     D
Sent back to Heaven on a starlight flight

     Em     D     C
Yeah I was gonna change the world
    C           D     G    Cm
And I was gonna be a girl


🎸 Verse:
 G
First thing I was gonna do
     C                                 G
Was breathe and fall in love with you
       C
But a couple weeks before I saw the light
      D
Mine flickered out when you changed your mind


🎸 Chorus:
           G
And all I wanted was a chance
            Am7
To learn to love and laugh and dance
       C     G/B        Am7
Oh but I was gone before I arrived
      C       G/B        Am7  G     D
Sent back to Heaven on a starlight flight

      Em7    D         C
I was gonna have some pretty curls
C           D     G
I was gonna be a girl


🎸 Outro:
    Am7
I'm more than just some one night stand
         Gm
Or some burden that you think I am
 G         C                            D
And there ain't no man who's ever gonna be
N.C.
What I was gonna be

G    Gsus4

      G                            Gsus4
Some don't believe I'm some living soul
        C                        G   G
Just a bad mistake that needs to go
