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,             Bbm Bbm

    my makeup may be flaking       [Verse]

But my smile still stays on        Cm Cm G#   G#

                                   Fm G  Fm

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                       Bbm Bbm

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

I'll soon be turning, round the corner now   D#m F

Outside, the dawn is breaking, but inside    D#m ()

    in the dark - I'm aching to be free

[Link] E-F# D#m-G#>F# E-F# D#m-G# - Cm7 C#-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] (…/D#m D#m Bbm Bbm)

(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)
