Verse 1 [G - Em - C - D] I chased the spotlight, with a heart on fire But the higher I climbed, the more I felt tired Of the endless hustle, the constant grind Was the dream worth the cost, I left behind? Chorus [C - D - G - Em] Oh, the pitfalls of chasing, the highs and the fame I lost myself, in the endless game I'm searching for a way, to break the chains And find my heart again, and love the pain Verse 2 [G - Em - C - D] I sacrificed love, for a fleeting thrill And the silence was loud, in the empty still I thought success would fill, the void inside But it only echoed, with a hollow pride Chorus [C - D - G - Em] Oh, the pitfalls of chasing, the highs and the fame I lost myself, in the endless game I'm searching for a way, to break the chains And find my heart again, and love the pain Verse 3 [G - Em - C - D] Now I'm standing here, with a worn-out shoe Wondering where I went wrong, and what to do I thought the dream was worth, the price I paid But now I'm left with, just a faded shade Chorus [C - D - G - Em] Oh, the pitfalls of chasing, the highs and the fame I lost myself, in the endless game I'm searching for a way, to break the chains And find my heart again, and love the pain Outro [Em - C - G - D] And maybe someday, I'll find my way back home And learn to love myself, and not the spotlight's glow And maybe then, I'll find my heart again And the dream won't be, just a distant pain.
