Intro: F Am Dm C

Verse 1:
  F                   Am
I spend too much time thinking about
Dm                  C
who I'm supposed to be
  F            Am
I play by everybody's rules
     Dm                  C
that don't seem right to me
    F
I'm cool and polite
Am
on the outside
Dm
When I get a chance
  C
I run and I hide
        F
If your eyes are closed
     Am      Dm
it's hard to see

Chorus:
          F         Am
What if I back down now
           Dm                   C
'cause I'm afraid of what might happen
             F    C
What if they turn away
                 Dm
when I show them who I truly am
          F       C
What if I lose my breath
       E                     Am
when I throw those big doors open
   F             G
Or tonight, just tonight
          F
What if I shine?

Interlude: Am Dm C

Verse 2:
       F
Should I even care?
        Am
They're all sitting there
    Dm                    C
and everyone's staring at me
     F               Am
If I step out in the spotlight
                  Dm
maybe I'll be set free

Chorus:
          F         Am
What if I back down now
            Dm                  C
'cause I'm afraid of what might happen
             F     C
What if they turn away
                 Dm
when I show them who I truly am
          F       C
What if I lose my breath
       E                     Am
when I throw those big doors open
   F                G
Or tonight, just tonight
          Ab  Eb
What if I shine?
Bb  F
I...
Ab Eb G
shine...

Bridge:
   F                  Am
I spend too much time thinking about
Dm                  C
who I'm supposed to be

Chorus:
              F        Am
But what if I sing out loud?
        Dm           C
Because anything can happen
          F        C
What if I stand up proud
                Dm
and I show them who I truly am?
              F       C
They're gonna call my name
         E                     Am
and I'll throw these big doors open
          F             G
'Cause tonight, just tonight
          Ab  Eb
I'm gonna shine
Bb  F
I...
Ab  Eb
shine...
