VERSE 1
     Am            C
You know you’re in trouble
     F                  C
When the spotlight is on you
      F             C
When nothing can be trusted
              Am           G
And you don’t know what to do
     F	        C
Hold on to yourself
     F                   C       
You’re just someone like me
            F       C
And you’re slowly becoming
            Am            G
What you’re pretending to be

CHORUS
     F                            Am
I’ve been meaning to sing you the song
     G                            F                C    F Am7 C Am Em G
I’ve been meaning to sing you the song for so long


VERSE 2
       Am             C
And to all you good people 
           F             C
That were lost along the way
        F             C
I have need for your smiles
    Am           G
And friendship today
          F       C
All those magical nights
         F           C
When our aim seemed so true
       F                 C
You of all must know the reason
         Am          G
I still feel like i do


CHORUS
           F                      Am
I’ve been meaning to sing you the song
          Dm                     G                 F Am7 C x3 - Am Em G
I’ve been meaning to sing you the song for so long


VERSE 3
       F        C
I must take to stage
       F         C
I need nerves of steel
   F           C
No matter how weak
        Am           G
And how weightless i feel.
       F                     Am
I just wanted to come across strong
             G                    F       G
Who, really, who was i trying to fool


CHORUS x2
           F                      Am
I’ve been meaning to sing you the song
          Dm                      G                F-Am- C x3 Am-Em-G-C
I’ve been meaning to sing you the song for so long
