Intro: F 
  

   C    G            Am     C 
To be a star, you've got to shine 
                   D7        C      G 
To be the light in someone's heart 
                             Am 
You gotta be bigger than you are 
                G        F    G   C 
Gotta be bigger than you are 
  
  
             G    Am            C 
If you can't reach what you can see 
                       D7 C    G 
When dreams are your reality 
                                Am 
It's time to be bigger than you are 
                  G        F    G   C 
Time to be bigger than you are 
  
  
                                       Am 
Are you ready for the sudden awakening 
        C                          F 
Are you ready for the total recall 
                      G               F 
Are you ready for the truth when it's told and 
G 
How do you know that it's the truth at all 
C 
Sometimes that truth isn't honest 
             Am                 F 
Sometimes it cuts like a knife 

Some days take more than all day and 
G                         F 
Some lives take more than one life 
  
  
 
   C    G            Am     C 
To be a star, you've got to shine 
                   D7        C      G 
To be the light in someone's heart 
                             Am 
You gotta be bigger than you are 
                G        F      C   F 
Gotta be bigger than you are 
  
  
     C           G        Am    C 
If a smile would break on every face 
                    D7    C    G 
At once our planet, human race 
                                      Am 
Would learn how to find the path with heart 
            G              F    G              C 
We could be bigger than we are, bigger than we are 
  
  
  
Are you ready for the rock and roll ending 
Am                               F 
Are you ready for the rigmarole 
       
Are you ready when you gave it all  
              G                                                   C 
And you'll be damned if you know where you're gonna get some more 
                       Am      F 
Are you ready, are you ready 
  
Ready to be bigger (are you ready) 
                       C        Am   F 
Ready to be bigger than a star
