Actor chords by Bullpup

♫ Verse:
E
This is how it works
       Am
You're you and then you're not
   Dm
It only ends once
       G
Show's over, hold applause

E
This is how it ends
         Am
Not in a bang but with a whimper
           Dm
Not with a scream but with a whisper
               G
You just don't have it like you used to

C             E
Take center stage
                  Am   G
Yeah your spot is marked
      C              E
Wanna hook them on you
                 Am     G
Wanna light that spark again
      C                  E                   Am     G
Well, no one's out there watching you in the dark tonight
           C              E
You're the star of the show
                    Am
But the audience is gone
             G
Where'd they go?
   C
So step through the curtain
     E
Make sure you're in view
Am
Give them the show
               G
You think they want you to

E

E
This is how it starts
    Am
You havе your costume on
       Dm
You'll step onstage
    G
The band will play you on

       E
You'll sing your heartbreak song
            Am
Hoping that they sing along
           Dm
Hoping they share in your pain
           G
So you can get what you want

C             E
Take center stage
                  Am   G
Yeah your spot is marked
      C              E
Wanna hook them on you
                 Am     G
Wanna light that spark again
