G Em7
You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
G D Em7
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
G Em7
You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
G D Em7
But circumstance gets in the way
G Em7
You have so many opportunities I never had
D Em7
Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy
G Em7
And this talent that you take for granted, it's a gift from god
D Em7
Don't pass it up, nothing is ever easy
G Em7
Are you ready to work real hard
G Em7
Are you tired it's just the start
G Em7 D
Listen to me son, I'll take you far
G Em7
You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
G D Em7
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
G Em7
You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
G D Em7
But circumstance gets in the way
(Chord progression is the same for the rest of the song)
Heel, toe, heel, toe, side to side AGAIN, gonna get it right
Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy
Don't forget your please and thank you's, don't forget to smile
Don't pass this up, nothing is ever easy
Are you ready to work real hard
Are you tired it's just the start
Listen to me son, I'll take you far
You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
But circumstance gets in the way
