AmC
I gotta keep myself
DmEm
in check sometimes
AmC
'Cause' I tend to dream
DmEm
real big sometimes
Am
The fancy outfits
C
and the sparkly awards
Dm
My name in lights
Em
the people lined up at the doors
AmC
But I gotta remember
DmEm
to take it one step at a time
(Chorus)
A
'Cause people seem to think
Dm
That you'll be happier
C
once you reach the top
Em
You'll have it all
A
But I'm living for right now
Dm
'Cause what if tomorrow never comes
CEm
I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting
ACDmEm
For the confetti to fall
(Intro) AmCDmEmAmC
I can't just sit around
DmEm
and wait for my life to start
Am
I can make a difference,
CDm
put a little happiness
Em
in someone's heart
Am
The fancy cars,
C
the glitter and the fame
Dm
It's all nice,
Em
but it won't be worth a thing
Am
Love is bigger,
CDmEm
so I'mma stand up for love, yeah
(Chorus)
A
'Cause people seem to think
Dm
That you'll be happier
C
once you reach the top
Em
You'll have it all
A
But I'm living for right now
Dm
'Cause what if tomorrow never comes
CEm
I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting
For the confetti to fall
(Intro) AmBmCDmEmAmBmCDmEmAmBmCDmEmAmBmCDmEmAm
If there was a rope
C
stretching up to the sky
Dm
With all of my dreams
Em
at the very top, so high
AmC
I get so caught up
DmEm
in everything around me, moving quickly
AmC
I forget to cherish every single moment
DmEm
I receive.. ooh..
Am
I forget about the climb,
C
I just wanna get there
Dm
Don't wanna wait in line,
Em
even though it's so clear
Am
That I'm called to use patience
C
on this journey that I'm on
Dm
I know that I'll come out alive
EmAm
and it'll only make me stronger
BmCDmEm
Oh oh, while everybody's focused on the hype
AmBmCDmEm
Oh oh , oh oh.. I'll be wondering why
(Chorus)
A
We seem to think
Dm
That you'll be happier,
C
once you reach the top
Em
You'll have it all
A
But I'm living for right now
Dm
'Cause what if tomorrow never comes
CEm
I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting, no..
A
'Cause people seem to think
Dm
That you'll be happier,
C
once you reach the top
Em
You'll have it all
