Every night of the year
FCDm
The dancer confronts her fear
FC
'Bout her image and her worth
DmAm
Or whether she's doomed or cursed
BbBbF
To be insecure for the rest of her days
FCDm
And as she climbs up on a stage
FCDm
She glances at the perverts who pay her wage
BbDmBbBb
She says, "Life is suffering, oh, yes, I know
BbBbC
But could you let me go?"
Uh
ChorusFCDm
'Cause I'm the one you're gonna miss
AmF
I'm the one that you'll hold dear
CDm
About me, they'll reminisce
AmF
Every night of the year

Verse 2FCDm
Every night of the year
FCDm
The writer confronts his fear
FC
Has he done all he could
DmAm
And will he be understood?
BbBbF
Or will his work be a dime-store luxury?
FCDm
And as he sits at his desk
FCDm
He starts to burn up all his texts
BbDmBbBb
He says, "Pain is pleasure, or so they say
BbBbC
But me, I gotta find my own way"
ChorusFCDm
'Cause I'm the one you're gonna miss
AmF
I'm the one that you'll hold dear
CDm
About me, they'll reminisce

Verse 3FCDm
Every night of the year
FCDm
The actress confronts her fear
FC
Little one steps on a stage
DmAm
She thinks, "What am I doing here?"
BbBbF
And as she takes her mark, she says, wondering, "Is this a phase?"
FCDm
And is this all a gift
FCDm
Or is she missing all of it?
BbDm
But if she sees her mom smile
BbBb
Then it really drives her wild
BbBbC
'Cause her acceptance and approval was worth her while
ChorusFCDm
When there's nowhere to run and hide
AmF
It's just me and you behind the mirror
CDm
She keeps screamin' inside
AmF
Every night of the year
