The show must go on (video) (live video)

1. Baby, although I chose this lonely life,

C

it seems it’s strangling me now,

F

all the wild men, big cigars, gigantic cars,

C

they are laughing at me now.

Dm Am

Oh, I’ve been used, oo-ooh,

Dm Am

I’ve been taken for a fool, oh, what a fool,

Dm Am Bb F

I broke all the rules, ooh, yeah, but I won’t let the show go on.

F

2. Baby, there’s an enormous crowd of people,

C

and they’re all after my blood,

F

I wish maybe they’d tear down the walls of this theatre

C

and let me out, let me out.

Dm Am

Oh, I’ve been blind, ooh yeah,

Dm Am

I’ve wasted time, wasted, wasted, oh, so much time,

Dm Am Bb F

walking on the wire, high wire, but I won’t let the show go on.

Dm Am

Dm Am

wasted my time, wasted so much time,

Dm Am Bb F

walking on the wire, high wire, but I won’t let the show go on. - - -

3. Baby, I wish you’d help me escape and help me get away,

F C

leave me outside my address, far away from this masquerade.

Dm Am

I’ve been so used, I’ve been so abused,

Dm Am

I’ve been a fool, I broke all the rules,

Dm Am Bb

I’ve been so used, oh, and abused, but I won’t let the show go,

Bb Bb F

I won’t let the show, oh, I won’t let the show go on.
