[Verse 1]
C Caug I'm the phantom of my own opera F D7 Oh don't I know it C G C G And I think of you, sweetheart C Caug F D7 I'm lurking in the shadows of my memory C G C G We were going to have a circus in the barn C Caug But the creature lurks among us F D7 C G C G The ghost of our past, the ghost of our love
[Bridge 1]
G And ‘If I had my own way’ C I always say that phrase F C G I thought it was a phase, but it wasn’t
[Verse 2]
C Caug F D7 And so here I am in my baggy-clown costume C G C G Perform any funny trick and throw a kiss to the audience C Caug F D7 And I'm wearing a mask, but you don't have to ask C G C G Who— I'm thinking about C Caug And there's a monkey in the background F D7 Hung by a rope from the ceiling C G And I'm the villain, acting fierce C G And stretching whiskers to a point
[Bridge 2]
G The phantom wears a black coat C Long trousers and a derby F C G Stands erect and cracks the whip loudly
[Verse 3]
C Caug I'm the phantom of my own opera F D7 I perform all the parts C G C G And I think of you, sweetheart C Caug F D7 I'm even the audience and I can't help thinking C G C G We were going to have a circus in the barn C Caug F D7 Can't pull the curtain, I can't help remembering C G C G Turn a somersault after singing a verse C Caug And the song is never ending F D7 And I never quit rehearsing C G C G A performance of a sad and twisted heart
[Bridge 3]
G And if I had my own way C I don't know what I'd do F C G I probably wish it was you
