Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening

The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding

Wishing secretly you were a star.


Eb5
But don't be fooled by the radio
Ab5                Bb5
The TV or the magazines
Eb5
They show you photographs of how your life should be
Ab5                              Bb5  Absus  Ab5
But they're just someone else's fantasies
C#5             F5         Bb5   
So if you think your life is complete confusion
F#5                    Bb5
Because you never win the game
C#5       F5     Bb5                
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
F#5                          Absus
Cause deep inside we're all the same.
        Bb5          
All the same...guitar break


Repeat Intro then:

C#5            F5          Bb5
So if you think your life is complete confusion
F#5                        Bb5
Because your neighbors got it made
C#5       F5     Bb5    
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
F#5                Absus    Ab5
Deep inside we're all the same.
