you gotta make a serious decision

Gm
it could be me out there in the stage lights
Dm
it could be on the TV in your living room
Gm
it could be me jet-setting with my band across the world
          Bb                            C
appearing live in concert one night only tickets sold out

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you
stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you
stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you
you gotta make a serious decision

there i am giving candid disclosure to press in interview
there i go on my way through the crowd up to the podium
on behalf of our fans we'd like to accept this award
smile for the camera boys, gold record in hand

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you
stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you
stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you
you gotta make a serious decision

Gm                  Dm
all of our lives in waiting
Gm                                Dm
all of our lives traded for their roses and applause
Gm
all of our lives dedicated
   Bb                            C
to shoving it right back in their fucking face
