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
