[Verse 1]
[C]I was[Am] meant for [C]the stage,
[F]I was meant for the curt[C]ain.

Of [F]this much I am cer[C]tain.

[Verse 2]
[C]I was meant for the crowd,

With [F]quiet all about [C]me. oh, [G]oh.

[Verse 3]
[G]Mother[C], please, be proud.
[F]Father, be forgiven.
[C]Even tho[G]ugh you tol[Am]d me
'son, you'll [F]never make

[G]
From the floorboards to [F]the fly,
Here I was fated [C]to reside.
And as I take my final [G]bow,
Was there ever any [C]doubt?
And as the spotlights [F]fade away,
And you're escorted
[C]through the foyer,
You will resume your callow [G]ways,
But I was meant for the stage.

In[F]tended me for star[C]dom,
Rays of [G]light shone [Am]down on me
And [F]all my sins were [C]pardoned.

[F]I was meant for deris[C]ion.
Nothing [G]short of [Am]fate itself
Has af[F]fected my de[C]cision. oh, oh.
[G]

[Verse 7]
From the floorboards [F]to the fly,
Here I was fated [C]to reside.
And as I take my [G]final bow,
Was there ever any [C]doubt?
And as the spotlights [F]fade away,
And you're escorted
[C]through the foyer,
You will resume your cal[G]low ways,
