[Verse 1]
        Am
Empty spaces, what are we living for?
            F
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
Dm               Esus2                     Dm
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
         Am
Another hero, another mindless crime,
              F
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime,
 Dm                  Esus2                    Dm
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?

[Chorus]
             Am
Show must go on!
              F
Show must go on!
  Dm
Inside my heart is breaking,
    Esus2
My make-up may be flaking,
        Dm          Am
But my smile still stays on

[Verse 2]
           Cm
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?
              Cm
I guess I'm learning (learning…), I must be warmer now,
                G
I'll soon be turning (turning…) round the corner now,
   Em                               F#
Outside the dawn is breaking, but inside in the dark
                  Em  Em2(012000)
I'm aching to be free

[Chorus]
             Am
Show must go on!
              F
Show must go on!
  Dm
Inside my heart is breaking,
    Esus2
My make-up may be flaking,
        Dm
But my smile still

 Stays on…

[Bridge]
Eb            F              Dm          Gm
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
  Eb               F           Dm            Gm
Fairy-tales of yesterday will grow and never die,
      Dm         C
I can fly, my friends.

[Chorus]
             Am
Show must go on!
              F
Show must go on!
      Dm                        E              Dm                 Am     F
I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving in, on with the show
     Dm                         Esus4
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill, I have to find the will to carry

    On    with the  show,  with the sho-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ow
