Guitar chords from The Grateful Dead
Closing my eyes and seeing the stage
Letting go of all my rage
Singing into the microphone
And suddenly Im not feeling alone
Singing my heart out Keeping the beat
Humming the melody Tapping my feet
Emotions bursting Im outta my seat
Mind of fast-forward, Words on repeat
Papers to be filed are still on my desk
Im looking so organized my heads a mess
The words I hear in my head just wont fade away
They steal my concentration for the third time today
And I let go of reality and Im playing with my band
Shaking the stadium and rocking the stand
Singing my heart out Keeping the beat
Humming the melody Tapping my feet
Emotions bursting Im outta my seat
Mind of fast-forward, Words on repeat
Sarahs tugging at my feet "Mommy Im so bored!"
But I dont hear her voice because Im playing a new chord
Lips pursed, eyes shut tight, volume turned on low
Mentally singing the lyrics from 6 years ago
And snapping back to my little girl I cant believe I lost my dreams
Life never stopped for my music or at all is how it all seems
Singing my heart out Keeping the beat
Humming the melody Tapping my feet
Emotions bursting Im outta my seat
Mind of fast-forward, Words on repeat
Paying the last of the bills on Tonys student loans
But keeping the rhythm of the Rolling Stones
I cant believe Ive gotten so old and I never got to sing
Never got to sit up stage and play on my six-string
But I guess I lived through the music in my head
And long live music until well after Im dead
Singing my heart out Keeping the beat
Humming the melody Tapping my feet
Emotions bursting Im outta my seat
