Key: A minor/Chorus in F major
a G a
Open up your eyes, take a look at me
a G a
Get the picture fixed in your memory
a
I'm driven by the rhythm like the beat of a heart
d E a
And I won't stop until I start
a
To stand out
a
To stand out
a G a
Some people settle for the typical thing
a G a
Livin' all their lives waiting in the wings
a
It ain't a question of "if", just a matter of time
d E a
Before I move to the front of the line
F C F
Once you're watching every move that I make
F G F
You gotta believe that I got what it takes
Bb F C F
To stand out, above the crowd
F Bb F
Even if I gotta shout out loud
Bb F C F
'Til mine is the only face you'll see
Bb F
Gonna stand out ...
a
'Til ya notice me
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/tevin_campbell/stand_out_crd.html ]
a G a
If the sqeeky wheel's always gettin' the grease
a G a
I'm totally devoted to disturbing the peace
a
And I'll do it all again, when I get done
d E a
Until I become your number one
a G a
No method to the madness, and no means of escape
a G a
Gonna break every rule or bend them all outta shape
a
It ain't a question of "how", just a matter of when
d E a
You get the message that I'm tryin' to send
F C F
I'm under a spell, I'm in over my head
F G F
And you know I'm going all the way to the end
Bb F C F
To stand out, above the crowd
F Bb F
Even if I gotta shout out loud
Bb F C F
'Til mine is the only face you see
a
Gonna stand out ...
'Til ya notice me
a
If I could make you stop and take a look at me
E a
instead of just, walkin' on
There's nothin that
I wouldn't do if it was gettin' you to notice
E a
I'm alive
F
All I need is half a chance,
C F
a second thought, a second glance
G F
To prove, I got whatever it takes
F
It's a piece of cake
Bb F C F
To stand out, above the crowd
F Bb F
Even if I gotta shout out loud
Bb F C F
'Til mine is the only face you'll see
Bb F
Gonna, stand out, staaaand out
Stand out!
Stand out!
Bb F C F
'Til mine is the only face you'll see
Bb F
Gonna stand out
'Til ya notice me
