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?


                  Bm
The show must go on,
                  G
The show must go on.
  Em
Inside my heart is breaking,
   F#
My make-up may be flaking,
       Em         Bm
But my smile still stays on.

         Bm
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance,
        G
Another heartache, another failed romance.
Em                  F#                         Em
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
            Bm
I guess I'm learning I must be warmer now,
               G
I'll soon be turning round the corner now,
  Em                                 F#                              Em         Bm
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#
My make-up may be flaking,
        Em         Bm                Bm  G  Em  F#  Em  G
But my smile still stays on.

F              G                   Em                Am
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
F                  G            Em            Am
Fairy-tales of yesterday will grow and never die,
A9          D
I can fly, my friends.

                Bm
The show must go on,
                 G
The show must go on.
      Em                    F#                       Em       Bm   G
I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving in, on with show.
     Em                                 F#                        Em
I'll top the bill I'll overkill I have to find the will to cary on,

On with the ...
F#              Em
On with the show
                Bm
The show must go on
