Capo : 7th Fret.

Verse : Am, E, C, G
        Am, E, G, D


I'm just a simple man, With hopes to go far
Ain't got no money, just living off this old guitar.
I wish i could tell you, just what i'd do for fame
but this ain't some competition, this ain't some kind of game.
(Guitar Break) 
Outside in the streets, i play for keeps
as strangers pass me by and stare at me so cheap.
If only i could make it in this scene
but there just ain't no room for a broke guy like me. 

Pre - Chorus : 
F                 C
But now i see the light
at the end of this tunnel
        E
and it's coming straight for me.

Chorus : 
Am,       G,               D
I play my heart out when i get up on that stage.
Am,       G,               D
No more just lying about wasting the days away.
Am        G,               D
God only knows, just where i'll go from here.
Am        G,                        D
But the past is in the past and the future is never clear. 

*Verse riff*

Stayin' up all night, just to write some lyrics down.
slavin' my ass all day, just to find the perfect sound.
As days go by, song after song it's still the same.
just trying to find a way out but there ain't no easy way.

Pre - Chorus : 
But now i see the light
at the end of this tunnel
and it's coming straight for me.

Chorus : 
I play my heart out when i get up on that stage.
No more just lying about wasting the days away.
God only knows, just where i'll go from here.
But the past is in the past and the future is never clear. 

Bridge : 

Dm                              Am
And now that i know what i wanna do with my life 
Dm                              Am
there's still something missing that needs to be set right.
F                                  C
i need to get out there and get my name known today
F                                  E
but it's hard to get that far living on minimum pay.
