Mama always told me, I was a fighter and nothing could keep me down
         D                F#m/C#                     Bm             G
She said never say never, always knew better than to keep both feet on the ground
         D                        F#m/C#                       Bm               G
I'm just one step behind reaching cloud number nine and gravi- ty's got nothing on me
    D                         F#m/C#             Bm                        G
The girls gotta dream and you better believe the lights are gonna shine on me

[Chorus]
                  D             A                G
Those thoughts of broad ways and lights around my name on the marquee
        D              A                G
Keep me flying and I'm trying to be the best this town has ever seen
D                       A                   Bm              G
And I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there, just watch me

When I was bit younger, somebody told me, " Girl, you're wasting your time"
          D                           F#m/C#                    Bm        G
He said," No one ever makes it in the show business and they're gonna eat you alive"
        D                     F#m/C#             Bm            G
I stood forcing a smile for a little while, then left him with a wink
         D                   F#m/C#             Bm         G
'Cause I know, one day he'll see my face on the cover of a magazine

[Chorus]

Keep me flying and I'm trying to be the best this town has ever seen
D                       A                   Bm              G
And I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there, just watch me

I wanna hear the crowd singing my songs back to me
