Lyrics

I got some thing in (Asus2)side of me,

some thing that (F#m7)needs to be heard.

Deep down a voice

is (Asus2)guid ing me,

hid den e (F#m7)mo

tions have (D)stirred.

Why have I let oth ers lead the way

when (F#)all a (Bm7)long I know what it is

(E)I want (F#m)to say?

What ev er it (D)is, I’ll (A)do it.

I’m the (D)an swer to your (E)pray’rs.

What ev er you (D)want, stop (A)look ing, no bod y (Em)else com (F#7sus)pares.

What (F#7)ev er you’ve (Bm11)seen be (A)fore, I’ll give you (D)so much (F#m7)more.

You’ll be (B7sus)to tal ly im pressed.

I’m New York’s (E7sus)best kept se cret.

I thought I had a per fect plan,

where I (F#m7)would wind up (D)on top.

One day I’m think ing: Yes, (Asus2)I can.

Next thing (F#m7)you know, I’m (D)a flop.

Why did I ev er play this (F#m7)sil ly game?

(F#7)I got to (Bm11)shake a few rules

(D)and state my (E7sus)plan.

What ev er it (D)is, I’ll (A)do it.

I’m the (D)an swer to your (E)pray’rs.

What ev er you (D)want, stop (A)look ing, no bod y (Em)else com (F#7sus)pares.

What (F#7)ev er you’ve (Bm7)seen be (A)fore, I’ll give you (D)so much (F#m7)more.

You’ll be (B7sus)to tal ly im pressed.

I’m New York’s (E7sus)best kept se cret.

What if I miss my win dow?

(E)What (F)if I blew my (B7)shot?

What if the (F#m7)on ly chance I was going to get, I al (C7)read y (B7)got?

I’m not (E7sus)read y to turn the page un til I’m on stage in (E7sus)a (D)show.

No, (E7sus)no bod y move, I got some thing to prove.

(F7sus)Don’t you know

what ev er it (Eb)is, I’ll (Bb)do it.

I’m the (Gm11)an swer to your (F)pray’rs.

What ev er you (Ebsus2)want, stop (Bb)look ing, no bod y (Fm)else com (G7sus)pares.

What (G7)ev er you’ve (Cm7)seen be fore, I’ll give you (Ebsus)so much (Gm11)more.

You’ll be (C7sus)to tal ly im pressed.

I’m New York’s (F7sus)best kept se cret.

Mm.

(Eb)Mm.
