Only The Leading Role Will Do Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I h[Em]ave a[G]lwa[C]ys[D][G]
held a second place
In the [C]heart that I love so [G]dear
Waiting oh so long just to see a trace
Or a [A]tiny sign that you [D]care
They say that [G]time will heal a broken heart
And I [C]prayed that you'd love [G]me too
But I just can't play that second part,
only the leading [D]role [G]will [C]do.[G][D][G]
You had another love before I came along
How she [C]hurt you, I just [G]don't know
I can't fill the shoes of your other love
So far, [D]say, let me [G]go
They say that [C]time will heal [G]a b[D]roken h[G]eart
I prayed that you'd love me [D]too
Oh, but I [G]just can't play that second part,
only the leading [D]role will [G]do.[C][G][D][G]
No, I just can't play that second part
Lord knows [C]I've tried not to let [G]it show
Either love me now, take me in your heart,
or for God's [D]sake, let [G]me go.
They say that [C]time will heal a [G]broken heart,
and I pray that you'll love me [D]too.
Oh, but I [G]just can't play that second part,
only the leading role [D]will [G]do.
