Singer In a Band

A                                 E
I'll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
D                                     E
God knows I love singing, that's what I was born to do
    A                                   E
You see me up there center stage in the spotlight for a while
           D                                  E
But in the things that really matter I'm just sitting on the isle'


(Chorus)
        D       A
Cause I've seen a third grade angel with dark circles 'neath her eyes
D       A       E
Not a trace of hair left on her head saying Daddy please don't cry
  C                             G
A single mom working overtime a college kid reading to the blind
F       E       A
When you look for heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band

A       E
I'm thankful to be living in this childhood dream come true
D       E
But sometimes the attention just leaves me confused
        A       E
Yeah I love my t-shirt on those kids my name there up in lights
        D       E
But when the show is done and I'm on the bus riding through the night'


(Chorus)
  D                                A
I think of New York City and those firemen and cops
    D                                A                    E
Who ran in and laid down their lives because it was their job
  C                                     G
A Soldier in a field of mines with each step he lays it on the line
F                                  E    A   E D A E
When you look for heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band

    C                                 G
I'm humbled when you take the time to hear my life and verse and rhyme
F                                 E                      A
When it comes to heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band
E                   D   E
I'm a singer in a band
        A                         E
I'll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
D                                     E
God knows I love singing, that's what I was born to do
