Nervous and your tearing at the seams.

The lights are too bright and you've got cold feet.

You look the part and you're only seventeen.

Think you can shine this way the whole way to the top.
A5        D5                                               G5
She said oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh.
A5       G5                  D5
Are you sure it's what you want?
D5
Call it luck; call it too much.

Don't waste your time.
