D5 F5 G5 Bb5 C(barr?) F5
F5 C5
Star light gonna burn out tonight
D5 Bb5
And drink till I forget
F5 C5
Somebody turned out the lights
D5 Bb5
Now I don?t know where I?ve been
F5 C5
Fell down and I?m on the ground
D5 Bb5
Now I?m looking up again
F5 C5
To the sky where I used to shine
D5 Bb5
And that?s where it all began
D5 Bb5
That?s where it all begins
G5 Bb5
Nobody always wins
D5 Bb5
And that?s where we?ll all land
G5 Bb5 C(barr?) F5
Until we try again, again and again
F5 C5
Falling stars landing on the boulevard
D5 Bb5
That?s all behind the scenes
F5 C5
Should?ve known we wouldn?t get very far
D5 Bb5
In this town of broken dreams
A5 D5 Bb5 F5
Someone should have told you, it?s not as easy as it seems
A5 D5 Bb5 G5
Someone could have shown you, it?s all behind the scenes
Bb5 D5
It?s all just make believe
**intro instrumental**
F5 C5
Another round for the circus clown
D5 Bb5
He?s finally made it big
F5 C5
Center ring now he?s going to sing
D5 Bb5
The national anthem
F5 C5
He wrote the song, it?s a sing-a-long
D5 Bb5
Now he?s forgetting all the words
F5 C5
And now he cries just like Jekyll and Hyde
D5 Bb5
And the carousel it turns
D5 Bb5
And that?s where we all return
G5 Bb5
When will we ever learn
D5 Bb5
To laugh and play along
G5 Bb5 C(barr?) F5
The show it must go on and on and on
F5 C5
Falling stars landing on the boulevard
D5 Bb5
It?s all behind the trends
F5 C5
Should have known we?d never get very far
D5 Bb5
In the city of dead ends
A5 D5 Bb5 F5
Someone should have told you, that?s just the way it goes
A5 D5 Bb5 G5
Someone could have shown you, it?s all in who you know
Bb5 C(barr?) - F5
It only goes to show
