Cm Fm G [Verse]
FmEbFm/DCm We are a lullaby, an everlasting song
FmEbFm/DG Taken as prisoners to a place where we belong
FmEbFm/DCm If the tune stops, I will not wake, oh no
FmEbG Without us I'm no one, my soul swells and aches
 [Pre-Chorus]
CmFmBb So on the day when the music dies, so will our love
Eb There'll be some pain, but I'll keep it in my locket
CmFm If you'll lead the band, then I will have to follow
G There's no escape for me, so
 [Chorus]
CmFm (Play on) Keep me dancing in the air
Eb (Play on) No one else they can compare
G (Play on) To the harmony of our sweet rapture
CmFm (Play on) You have a supernatural flair
Eb (Play on) Push me further than I dare
G (Play on) Play on, play on, play on
FmEb Fm/D Cm So play on for me
 [Verse]
FmEbFm/DCm So if this melody should stop or fade away
FmEbFm/DG The oceans will drain out, and the stars disintegrate
FmEbGCm It's like voodoo, I've lost all my control
FmEbG I look into you, you make me rock and roll
 [Pre-Chorus]
CmFmBb So on the day when the music dies, so will our love
Eb There'll be some pain, but I'll keep it in my locket
CmFm If you'll lead the band, then I will have to follow
G There's no escape for me, so
 [Chorus]
CmFm (Play on) Keep me dancing in the air
Eb (Play on) No one else they can compare
G (Play on) To the harmony of our sweet rapture
CmFm (Play on) You have a supernatural flair
Eb (Play on) Push me further than I dare
G (Play on) Play on, play on, play on
Cm So play on for me
 [Break]
Cm (Play on and on and on and on...)
 [Chorus]
CmFm (Play on) Keep me dancing in the air
Eb (Play on) No one else they can compare
G (Play on) To the harmony of our sweet rapture
CmFm (Play on) You have a supernatural flair
Eb (Play on) Push me further than I dare
G (Play on) Play on, play on, play on
Cm So play on for me
 [Final Chorus]
FmEb (Play on, play on)
G To the harmony of our sweet rapture
CmFm (Play on) You have a supernatural flair
Eb G (Play on) Push me further than I dare
