Role Of A Lifetime Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Those kid[G]s they do
believe [D]in you
And that's [G]worth so much [D]more
Then a [G]line about a piece [D]of fruit[Em]
Or a Tony [Asus4]Award
I was going for an [G]Egot
Let's not [Asus4]get ahead [G]of ourselves

[Verse 2]
Think of [G]this as the [Dsus4]role of a li[D]fetime
It's the [Dsus4]part you
were born to [D]play
[F#m]Keeping their dreams in your [Bm]sight line
Now it's their [C]turn to take
[Asus4]the stage
Think of [G]this as [Dsus4]a role to remembe[D]r
[G]Like [D]Elphaba or Eponine
I'm more of a Glinda
It's [F#m]all of the things you could
[Bm]ever bring to [C]a scene
You know [G]what [A]I mean?

[Verse 3]
So give it your [G]all
Right from [D]the start
You gotta [Bm]play this from the [Asus4]heart
[A]You're their tea[G]cher, you're the lea[D]d
And you're off [A]book now
[Asus4]Give it a go[G]
Show [D]'em the way
We're all in this to[Bm]gether
At the end of the [A]day
I should [Bm]know af[C]ter all
I played [G]Ryan[Gsus4][G]
(Ryan)
Is this [Gsus4]the role of a lif[G]etime?

[Verse 4]
The part I [Gsus4]was born to play?[G]
Showing [Bm]them how to smile
in the [Em]bright lights
Now it's [F]their turn to take
[Dsus4]the stage
[G]This could be a role to remember
Like [C]Elsa or Eva [G]Peron
[Bm]I'll teach them to channel
their feel[Em]ings
I'll share what I [F]know
And [Dsus4]live for the show
I'll [D]give it my all

[Verse 5]
[C]
Right from [G]the start
I gotta [Em]play this from [D]the heart
I'm [Dsus4]their tea[C]cher, I'm the lea[G]d
And I'm off book [D]now
Give it a [C]go
Show 'em the [G]way
You gotta [Em]let the music [D]play
This is [Em]now and [F]the rest is [C]history

[Verse 6]
I felt [Em]small, I couldn't [Ebdim]breathe
When they [D]took that apple [A]from me
[C#dim]But you're right here now[C]
And you never know when you'll
get a [Bsus4]cameo (ca[B]meo)

[Verse 7]
[B]So give it your [A]all
Right from [E]the start
You gotta [C#m]let th[A]em play
their [C#m]parts[B]
Tonight, [A]all the roles
Will be played by [E]the drama
students of East [B]High[Bsus4]
[B]Give it a [A]go
Show 'em the [E]way
You gotta [C#m]let the music pl[B]ay
This is [C#m]now and we[D]'re making
[A]history
History (history)
