Empty spaces, what are we living for

Abandoned places, I guess we know the score

On and on, does anybody know          ╔══════════╗

What we are looking for               ║ The Show ║

Another hero, another mindless crime  ║   Must   ║

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime  ║   Go On  ║

Hold the line, does anybody want      ║   Queen  ║

To take it anymore                    ╚══════════╝


The show must go on (x2), (…/yeah) [Hook]   [Fill]

() Inside, my heart is breaking,             Fm Fm

    my makeup may be flaking       [Verse]

But my smile still stays on        Gm Gm D#   D#

                                   Cm D  Cm

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance

Another heartache, another failed romance

On and on, does anybody know               [Intro]

What we are living for                       Fm Fm

I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now   C#  C#

I'll soon be turning, round the corner now   Bbm C

Outside, the dawn is breaking, but inside    Bbm ()

    in the dark - I'm aching to be free


[Link] Bbm [Hook] (…/yeah yeah) (Ooh) [Solo - Hook]


[Link] B-C# Bbm-D#>C# B-C# Bbm-D# - Gm7 G#-X

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly, my friends

                          [Chorus] (…/Bbm Bbm Fm Fm)

(The show must go on, (ehhh/go on, go on) x2)

I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving in

On with the show - … - …

Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overkill,

    I have to find the will to carry on

With the show (x2) - The show must (go on x8)
