[Verse]
[F]Times were good
She never thought abou[G]t the [Am]future, she just did what she would
Oh [G]but she [F]really cared
About her music,[G] it [Am]all seemed so important then
[Chorus]
And she [D/A]dreamed that every time that she performed
[G/A] [A]Everyone would cry for more
That [D/A]all she had to do was step into the light
[G/A] And [A]everyone would start to roar
[Verse]
[F]And on the road
Where all but a few fall [G]by the [Am]wayside on the grassier verge
She [F]battled through
Against the others in her world,[G] and the [Am]sleep, and the odds
[Chorus]
But [D/A]now every time that she performed
[G/A]Oh [A]everybody cried for more
Soon [D/A]all she had to do was step into the light
[G/A] For [A]everyone to start to roar
[Interlude]
And [G/A]all the people cried, you're the [D/A]one we've waited for

[Verse]
Oh but [F]time went by
It wasn't so easy now, [G]all up[Am]hill, and not feeling so strong
Yes [F]times were hard
Too much thinking 'bout the future[G] and [Am]what people might want
[Chorus]
And [D/A]then there was the time that she performed
[G/A]When [A]nobody called for more
And [D/A]soon every time she stepped into the light
[G/A]They [A]really let her know the score
But she [D/A]dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs
[G/A]And [A]everybody cried for more
When [D/A]all she had to do was step into the light
[G/A] For [A]everyone to start to roar
[Interlude]
And [G/A]all the people cried, you're the [D/A]one we've waited for
