[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 C Maureen and Sam will amaze you with songs F C That only could come from a star F C G Am F With a comical dance and a glance from afar G Fmaj7 F They're just trying to please and will be if you give them a chance
[Verse 2]
Am G F G Am G Oh my God, did you hear what they said about the way that I talk? F G F Hold my head in the air G Fmaj7 The lights and the magic have faded away
[Verse 3]
F C Maureen and Sam will continue to smile F Em Though their audience mumble and stumble in the aisle Fmaj7 C G Am F That first hello and the hasty goodbye G F Fmaj7 The backdrop is crumbling and dust is all that remains
[Verse 4]
F G F G I dare you to say that I'm cheap and I'm mean F G F 'Cause you know that it's me holding the scenе in the end G Fmaj7 The lights and thе magic have faded away

[Verse 5]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Maureen and Sam never were a success F Cmaj7 Though their picture still hangs on the dressing room wall Fmaj7 C Am C F The glory that comes, the glory that goes
[Verse 6]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Please don't you cry and it's no use to talk Fmaj7 Cmaj7 You're no longer as young as before Fmaj7 C G Am C F And as Maureen lies dying, the crowd scream for more G F C And the drummer still sits in the background waiting for his day to arrive
