Am7Am7 Am7/E
The actors and jesters are here
D7D7
The stage is in darkness and clear
Dm7Dm7
For raising the curtain
Dm7/E Am7Am7
And no one's quite certain whose play it is
How long ago, how long?
Am7/E D7D7
If only we had listened then
Dm7Dm7 Dm7/E Am7Am7
If we'd known just how right we were going to be
Am7/E
For we dreamed a lot and we schemed a lot
D7D7 Dm7Dm7
And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart
Dm7/E Am7Am7 Am6Am6 C majorC
oh-oh-oh oh oh oh ohhhhhh
G+G
If everyone was listening, you know
C majorC G+G E7/BE7/B A minorAm
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
D7D7
Who'll be the last clown to bring the house down
FF E minor 7Em7 FF E minor 7Em7 FF E minor 7Em7
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain

What is your costume today?
D7D7
And how are the props in your play
Dm7Dm7
You're acting a part
Dm7/E
Which you thought from the start
Am7Am7
Was an honest one
Well how do you plead?
An actor indeed!
D7D7
Go relearn your lines
Dm7Dm7 Dm7/E
You don't know what you've done
Am7Am7 Am6Am6 C majorC
The finale's begun
