[Verse 1]
Bm
Empty spaces - what are we living for
G
abandoned places - I guess we know the score
Em F# 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# Em
hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?
[Chorus]
Bm G
The show must go on, the show must go on, yeah,
Em
inside my heart is breaking
F#
my make-up may be flaking
Em Bm
but my smile still stays on.
[Verse 2]
C#m
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
A
another heartache, another failed romance
F#m G# 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
outside the dawn is breaking
G# F#m Em
but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free.
[Chorus]
Bm G
The show must go on, the show must go on, yeah,
Em
inside my heart is breaking
F#
my make-up may be flaking
Em Bm
but my smile still stays on.
[Bridge]
F G Em Am G
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
F G Em Am
fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
C#m7b5 D
I can fly - my friends.
[Chorus]
Bm G
The show must go on, the show must go on, yeah,
Em
I'll face it with a grin
F#
I'm never giving in
Em Bm
on - with the show.
[Solo]
Bm G Em F# Em
[Outro]
Em F#
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill,
Em F#
I have to find the will to carry on.
Em Bm
