[Versetto]
Gb               Ebm                Abm    E 
Guess we all are born with parts to play 
Gb               Abm               E     Dbm 
Some of us are stars and some are just in the way 
B             Bbm 
I know I was meant for glory 
Ebm              Ab              Db 
But that's never what my story brings 
Db 
And yet I keep on waiting 
Gb                Ebm               E   Dbm 
When you have the passion and the drive 
Gb                Ebm           E      Dbm 
You expect your moment, center stage, to arrive 
B               Bbm 
I show up with heart a-blazing 
Ebm               Ab         Db 
Ready to achieve amazing things 
Dbm                          Gb 
But I'm left waiting in the wings 
Gb     Db     Gb 
I hear my cue 
              B 
And yet I'm kept there waiting 
Gb    Ab      Gb 
Know what to do 
Gb            B           Db 
And still I stand there waiting 
Ebm    Bb      Db         Cm  Bm 
It's always someone else who sings 
Abm              Db           Gb 
While I'm left waiting in the wings 
Gb        Ebm             E      Dbm 
And so I keep on keepin' on 
A          Gbm               G 
My chances come and then I blink and they're gone 
C        Bm 
Always overlooked unfairly 
Em                A               D 
While pretending that it barely stings 
        Eb 
But it stings, yes, it stings! 
Ab        Bbm      Ab 
And I'll shed no tears 
Ab                Absus4 
I'll only keep on waiting 
Ab Bbm      Ab 
If no one cheers 
             Db        Eb 
Well, I can keep on waiting 
Fm   Ab        Dm 
Who cares how loud 
              Eb 
The silence rings 
Eb                              Ab Bbm Ab 
You'll find me waiting in the wings
