Background

G
I could play the background
D
I could play the background
Em                       C
Cause I know sometimes I get in the 
way
                     G
So won't You take the lead, lead, 
lead
                     D
So won't You take the lead, lead, 
lead
                    Em
And I could play the background, 
background
                      C
And you could take the lead

[Verse 1]
G
It's evident you run the show, so 
let me back down
D
You take the leading role, and I'll 
play the background
Em
I know I miss my cues, know I forget
 my lines
C
I'm sticking to your script, and I'm
 reading all your signs
G
I don't need my name in lights, I 
don't need a starring role
D
Why gain the whole wide world, If 
I'm just going lose my soul
Em
And my ways ain't purified, don't 
live according to Your Word
C
I can't endure this life without 
Your wisdom being heard
G
So word to every dancer, for a pop 
star
D
'Cause we all play the background, 
but mine's a rockstar
Em
Yeah, so if you need me I'll be 
staged right
C
Praying the whole world will start 
embracing stage fright

G
So let me fall back, stop giving my 
suggestions
D
'Cause when I follow my obsessions, 
I end up confessing
Em
That I'm not that impressive, matter
 of fact
C
I'm who I are, a trail of stardust 
leading to the superstar

[Chorus]
G
I could play the background
D
I could play the background
Em                       C
  Cause I know sometimes I get in 
the way
                     G
So won't You take the lead, lead, 
lead
                     D
So won't You take the lead, lead, 
lead
                    Em
And I could play the background, 
background
                      C
And you could take the lead

[Verse 2]
G
I had a dream that I was captain of 
my soul
D
I was master of my fate, lost 
control. and then I sank
Em
So I don't want to take the lead, 
'cause I'm prone to make mistakes
C
All the folks who follow me, going 
end up in the wrong place
G
So let me just shadow you, let me 
trace your lines
D
Matter of fact, just take my pen, 
here, you create my rhymes
Em
'Cause if I do this by myself, I'm 
scared that I'll succeed
C
And no longer trust in you, 'cause I
 only trust in me
G
And see, that's how you end up 
headed to destruction
D
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your 
life out for nothing
Em
You pulled my card, I'm bluffing, 
You know what's in my hand
C
Me, I'm just going to trust you, You
 cause the dice to land
G
I'm in control of nothing, follow 
you at any cost
D
Some call it sovereign will, all I 
know is you the boss
Em
Man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content
C
I'll play the background, like it's 
an instrument

[Chorus](x2)

[Bridge]
G
I know I'm safest when I'm in Your 
will, and trust Your Word
D
I know I'm dangerous when I trust 
myself, my vision blurred
Em
And I ain't got no time to play 
life's foolish games
C
Got plenty aims, but do they really 
Glorify Your name
G
And it's a shame, the way I want to 
do these things for You
D
Don't even cling to you, take time 
to sit and gleam from You
Em
Seems You were patient in my 
ignorance
C
If ignorance is bliss, it's 'cause 
she never heard of this
