Lyrics

An oth er (Csus)cold night, an oth er late flight.

It’s al most (F)show time and (G)Di verse Cit y’s wait ing (Gsus)on me.

We got a (Csus)packed house; the crowd is call ing out.

They want the (F)beat to drop, but (G)what we real ly need is You.

(C)If You wan na steal my show, I’ll sit back and watch You go.

If You got some thing to say, go on and take it a way.

Need You to steal my show, can’t wait to watch You (Am)go, oh, oh, (F)oh, so take it a way.

So now the (Csus)crowd is hyped that You showed up to night, an tic i (F)pat ing, crav ing (G)some thing more than smoke and (Gsus)lights.

So I’ll step (Csus)out the way, I’ll give you cen ter stage.

(Am)Al right, spot light, (G)give ’em what they came for.

When You ar rive,

we come to life.

Our hearts col lide; they’re (C)beat ing in the same time.

You’re com ing through,

all eyes on You.

Our hearts col lide; they’re (Bb)beat ing in the same time, beat ing in the same time.

No mat ter (Csus)who we are, no mat ter what we do,

(G)ev ’ry day we can choose

to say: (C)If You wan na steal my show, I’ll sit back and watch You go.

If You got some thing to say, go on and take it a way.

Need You to steal my show, can’t wait to watch You (Am)go, oh, oh, (F)oh, so take it a way.

Take it a way, oh.

Take it a way.

It’s all Yours, God, so take it a way, oh.

Take it a way.

It’s (F)You I wan na live for.
