Key: B

Introduction:

             Bm                                                                                                                               G 
Empty spaces, what are we living for? Abandoned places, I guess we know the score.
 Em                       F#                                     Em 
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
                 Bm                                                                                                               G 
Another hero, another mindless crime, behind the curtain, in the pantomime,
 Em                             F#                             Em 
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?
                       Bm                                       G 
The show must go on, the show must go on.
     Em                                                                                   F#                                                                                             Em                 Bm 
Inside my heart is breaking, my make-up may be flaking, but my smile still stays on.
                   C#2                                                                                                                                   A 
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance, another heartache, another failed romance.
 F#m                     G#                                   F#m 
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
                         C#2                                                                                                                         A 
I guess I'm learning I must be warmer now, I'll soon be turning round the corner now,
     F#m                                                   G#                                             F#m                 F#5 
Outside the dawn is breaking, but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free.
 Em                     Bm                                         G 
The show must go on, the show must go on.
       Em                                                                               F#                                                                                             Em                 Bm   G   Em   F#   Em   G 
Inside my heart is breaking, my make-up may be flaking, but my smile still stays on.
 F             G                       Em                 Am   F                     G         Em                       Am 
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, fairy-tales of yesterday will grow and never die,
 A9     D                                                 Bm                                             G 
I can fly, my friends, the show must go on, the show must go on.
             Em                                       F#                 Em             Bm     G 
I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving in, on with show.
           Em                                     F#                   Em 
I'll top the bill I'll overkill I have to find the will to cary on, on with the
 F#             Em                                             Bm 
On with the show,   the show must go on
