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