Intro: Bm   G   Em   Gb   Em
 
Verse 1:
      Bm
Empty spaces - what are we living for
          G
abandoned places - I guess we know the score
Em              Gb                       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                  Gb                      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
   Gb
my make-up may be flaking
       Em                     Bm
but my smile still stays on.
 
Verse 2:
         Dbm
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
        A
another heartache, another failed romance
Gbm             Ab                       Gbm
on and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
            Dbm
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now,
             A
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Gbm
outside the dawn is breaking
    Ab                                  Gbm    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
   Gb
my make-up may be flaking
       Em
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
Dbm              D
I can fly - my friends.
 
Chorus:
                 Bm                   G

I'm never giving in

on - with the show.

I have to find the will to carry on.
                    Bm
The show must go on.
