The actors and jesters are here,
F                              F7   
The stage is in darkness and clear,
Fm                                                  
For raising the curtain, and no-one's quite certain
      Cm         Cm7 
Whose play it is.

If only we had listened then,
        Fm                      
If we'd known.. just how right,
        Cm          Cm7 
We were going to be.
       Cm                   Cm7           
For we dreamed a lot and we schemed a lot
       F                            
And we tried to sing of love before
    Fm               Fm 
The stage fell apart.

Who are the props in your play?
Fm                                     
You're acting a part which you thought
                        Cm         Cm7 
From the start.. was an honest one.

Well, how do you plead?
