Queen - The Show Must Go On

(intro) Bm Bm2 Bm4 Bm G G5 G6 G Em F# Em F#

      Bm
Empty spaces, what are we living for?
     G
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score.
Em            F#                   Em
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
        Bm
Another hero, another mindless crime,
      G
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime,
Em               F#               Em
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?


           Bm
The show must go on,
           G
The show must go on.
  Em
Inside my heart is breaking,
   F#
My make-up may be flaking,
       Em         Bm
But my smile still stays on.

         C#m
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance,
        A
Another heartache, another failed romance.
F#m           G#                  F#m
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
            C#m
I guess I'm learning I must be warmer now,
        A
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
The show must go on,
           G
The show must go on.
   Em
Inside my heart is breaking,
    F#
My make-up may be flaking,
        Em         Bm  Bm  G  Em  F#  Em  G
But my smile still stays on.

F       G            Em         Am
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
F           G     Em            Am
Fairy-tales of yesterday will grow and never die,
A9   D
I can fly, my friends.

         Bm
The show must go on,
          G
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
On with the show
                Bm
The show must go on
