[Verse]
Cm Cm7
The actors and jesters are here,
F F7
The stage is in darkness and clear,
Fm
For raising the curtain, and no-one's quite certain
Cm Cm7
Whose play it is.
Cm Cm7
How long ago, how long?
F F7
If only we had listened then,
Fm
If we'd known.. just how right,
Cm Cm
We were going to be.
Cm Cm7
For we dreamed a lot and we schemed a lot
F
And we tried to sing of love before
Fm Fm
The stage fell apart.
Cm Cm7 Eb
Oh o-h, o-h-h, o-h-h, o-h-h, o-h-h-h
[Chorus]
Eb Bb Bb C Eb
If everyone was listening you know,
Eb Bb Bb C Eb
There'd be a cha-nce that we could save the show.
Cm F
Who'll be the last clown ... to bring the house down?
Cm Gm Cm Gm Cm Gm Fm
Oh no, please no,,don't let the curtain fall.
