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
She said if you work hard to get
            F
where you are it feels
Dm                   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

And she signed autographs
Like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt
And in the aftermath
That small-time town was hers

Chorus

Am           A#                    F
She doesn't care anymore that her high school
             C
Girlfriends cut her out
Am                    A#              F
They only thought she entertains is where
they are and
             C
When she is now

Her old neighbors swear they're
certain she slept her way to the top
She knows you don't get where you're
going 'less you got something they ain't got

So she sings tonight
To twenty-thousand plus
And the young girls scream out loud
"Man, that could be us"

Chorus:
She's a big star as she eats caviar
just before she performs every night
She says, "If you work hard to get
where you are it feels good in the hot spotlight"
She's a big star
She's a big star
