The Decemberists - I Was Meant For The Stage Chords 

Play it softly and mean it - Brian

I was meant for the stage, 
I was meant for the curtain. 
I was meant to tread these boards, 
Of this much i am certain. 

I was meant for the crowd, 
I was meant for the shouting. 
I was meant to raise these hands 
With quiet all about me. oh, oh. 

Mother, please, be proud. 
Father, be forgiven. 
Even though you told me 'Son, 
you'll never make a living.' oh, oh. 

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