INTRO: F
 
CHORUS:
   C    G            Am     C
To be a star, you've got to shine
                   D7        C      G
To be the light in someone's heart
                             Am
You gotta be bigger than you are
                G        F    G   C
Gotta be bigger than you are
 
 
             G    Am            C
If you can't reach what you can see
                       D7 C    G
When dreams are your reality
                                Am
It's time to be bigger than you are
                  G        F    G   C
Time to be bigger than you are
 
 
                                       Am
Are you ready for the sudden awakening
        C                          F
Are you ready for the total recall
                      G               F
Are you ready for the truth when it's told and
G
How do you know that it's the truth at all
C
Sometimes that truth isn't honest
             Am                 F
Sometimes it cuts like a knife

Some days take more than all day and
G                         F
Some lives take more than one life
 
 
CHORUS:
   C    G            Am     C
To be a star, you've got to shine
                   D7        C      G
To be the light in someone's heart
                             Am
You gotta be bigger than you are
                G        F      C   F
Gotta be bigger than you are
 
 
     C           G        Am    C
If a smile would break on every face
                    D7    C    G
At once our planet, human race
                                      Am
Would learn how to find the path with heart
            G              F    G              C
We could be bigger than we are, bigger than we are
 
 
 
Are you ready for the rock and roll ending
Am                               F
Are you ready for the rigmarole
      
Are you ready when you gave it all 
              G                                                   C
And you'll be damned if you know where you're gonna get some more
                       Am      F
Are you ready, are you ready
 
Ready to be bigger (are you ready)
                       C        Am   F
Ready to be bigger than a star
