The Show Must Go On

Words and music by Queen

      Bmi
Empty spaces, what are we living for?
	    G
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score.
Emi 	          F#mi 	                 Emi 
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
        Bmi	
Another hero, another mindless crime,
	     G
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime,
Emi	              F#mi	              Emi
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?

	          Bmi
The show must go on,
	          G
The show must go on.
  Emi
Inside my heart is breaking,
   F#mi
My make-up may be flaking,
       Emi         Bmi	
But my smile still stays on.

         C#mi
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance,
        A
Another heartache, another failed romance.
F#mi	          G#mi	                 F#mi
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
            C#mi
I guess I'm learning I must be warmer now,
	       A
I'll soon be turning round the corner now,
  F#mi   	                      G#mi	                      F#mi	        Emi Bmi Emi
Outside the dawn is breaking, but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free.

	          Bmi
The show must go on,
	          G
The show must go on.
   Emi
Inside my heart is breaking,
    F#mi
My make-up may be flaking,
        Emi         Bmi		Bmi G Emi F#mi Emi G
But my smile still stays on.

F	      G	           Emi	        Ami
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
F	          G	            Emi	          Ami
Fairy-tales of yesterday will grow and never die,
        G	   Emi
I can fly, my friends.
	          Bmi
The show must go on,
	         G
The show must go on.
      Emi                     F#mi		       Emi	Bmi G
I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving in, on with show.
     Emi		                 F#mi		        Emi
I'll top the bill I'll overkill I have to find the will to cary on,
	
On with the ...	
F#mi	      Emi
On with the show
                Bmi	
The show must go on
