C       F            C   F      C        F 
She was aware of her insecurities as she took the 
       C  F 
stage 
C         F              C      F          C 
She was convinced if she got up there that she'd 
      F                 C  F 
Be discovered someday 
       F 
So she belted it 
            G                  C 
She hit the high notes fearlessly 
      F  
Oh she melted then, as she brought them to their feet 
 
 
(Chorus:) 
         C    F         C          F 
She was a big star at Banana Joe?s bar where 
    C       F               C F 
She sang karaoke everynight 
            C        F       C             F 
She said if you work hard to get where you are it feels 
Dmin                G 
Good in the hotspot light  
                  C  F   
She was big star 
 
 
She made the local cable shows where the camera fell in love with her face 
After a couple of weekends the groupies were crawling all over the place 
She signed autographs like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt  
and in the aftermath, that small time town was hers

Solo:   
Am            Bb                  F 
She doesn?t care anymore that her high school 
            C 
Girlfriends cut her out  
Am                    Bb            F 
They only thought she entertains is where they are and 
           C 
When she is now 
 
 
All her old neighbors swear their certain she slept her way to the top 
But she knows you don?t get where you going unless you 
Got something they ain?t got 
 
So she sings tonight to 20,000 plus and the young 
Girls scream out loud 
Man that could be us 
She?s a big star as she eats caviar just before she 
Performs every night  
She?s says if you work hard to get where you are it 
Feels good in the hot spot light 
She?s a big star 
She?s a big star
