Intro
[Bm] [G] [Em] [F#] [Em]
Verse 1
Empty [Bm]spaces - what are we living for
abandoned [G]places - I guess we know the score
[Em]on and on, does [F#]anybody know what we are [Em]looking for?
Another [Bm]hero, another mindless crime
behind the [G]curtain, in the pantomime
[Em]hold the line, does [F#]anybody want to take it [Em]anymore?
Chorus
The show must go [Bm]on, the show must go [G]on, yeah,
[Em]inside my heart is breaking
my [F#]make-up may be flaking
but my [Em]smile still [Bm]stays on.
Verse 2
Whatever [C#m]happens, I'll leave it all to chance
another [A]heartache, another failed romance
[F#m]on and on, does [G#]anybody know what we are [F#m]living for?
I guess I'm [C#m]learning, I must be warmer now,
I'll soon be [A]turning, round the corner now
[F#m]outside the dawn is breaking
but [G#]inside in the dark I'm aching [F#m]to be free.[Em]
Chorus
The show must go [Bm]on, the show must go [G]on, yeah,
[Em]inside my heart is breaking
my [F#]make-up may be flaking
but my [Em]smile still [Bm]stays on.
