Intro  G, Am, Em, C
(Verse 1)
G
You're everything I wanna be,
Am
But that's not true at all,
Em
I've held you high,
C
I built a lie,
G
You're nothing like you used to be,
Am
And that's not right at all,
Em
You've given in,
C
You've let them win,
C                                         D
And I'm sorry that these words are coming out of my mouth,
C                           D  
     But I don't want to be like you,
C                           D           C D  (Stop)
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out,

(Chorus)
D       Em                 C     
Someone else can save the world,
        G                D              
I won't sell my soul for this,
         C
I wasn't meant to make them happy,
         D
I wasn't meant to make them money,
D       Em                   C 
Someone else can let it all go,
          G                   D   
Trade themselves for one more show,
             C                      D
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away,
D                         Em  C
For one meager shot at fame.
D

(Verse 2)
G 
I thought you could think for yourself,
Am
And fight for what you loved,
Em
They're using you,
C
You know they do,
G
And I don't think I want to take,
D
The same road that you're on,
Am           Bm   Em  C
It can't be worth, the way you hurt,
C                                         D  
And I'm sorry that these words are coming out of my mouth,
C                        D
  But I don't want to be like you,
C                           D            C D    
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out,

(Chorus)
D       Em                 C
Someone else can save the world,
        G                D      
I won't sell my soul for this,
         C
I wasn't meant to make them happy,
         D
I wasn't meant to make them money,

D       Em                   C
Someone else can let it all go,
          G                   D
Trade themselves for one more show,
             C                      D
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away,

For one meager shot at fame.

(Bridge)
C                            D
Do you even remember why you wanted to get this far in the first place?
C                            D
Do you even remember why you wanted to be a rock star in the first place?
C
Well it's not too late...
(Slower)
(Chorus)
Bm
Bm            Em                 C
'Cuz someone else can save the world,
          G                 D
Don't you sell yourself for this,
(Faster)
            C 
You weren't meant to make them happy,
            D                  C
You weren't meant to make them money,
             Em                    C 
'Cuz someone else can let it all go,
          G                   D
Trade themselves for one more show,
C                                         D                                  
But you weren't meant to throw yourself away,
               C                         Bm
No, we weren't meant to throw ourselves away,
C                   Em                  
For one meager shot at fame.  
C   D                  Em     C        D 
Oh, one meager shot at fame, fame oh, fame.
Em  Bm  Em
