4/4
Gtr I
Bm
Empty spaces, what are we living for?
G
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score.
Em F#m Em
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
Bm
Another hero, another mindless crime,
G
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime,
Em F#m Em
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?
Bm
The show must go on,
G
The show must go on.
Em
Inside my heart is breaking,
F#m
My make-up may be flaking,
Em Bm
But my smile still stays on.
C#m
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance,
A
Another heartache, another failed romance.
F#m G#m F#m
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
C#m
I guess I'm learning I must be warmer now,
A
I'll soon be turning round the corner now,
F#m G#m F#m Em Bm Em
Outside the dawn is breaking, but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free.
Bm
The show must go on,
G
The show must go on.
Em
Inside my heart is breaking,
F#m
My make-up may be flaking,
Em Bm Bm G Em F#m Em G(for solo)
But my smile still stays on.
