Chords
One of my very favorite songs from this musical.
Dm Everything's an act, C When you're pleasing everyone Dm And he assumes that role Bb To such renown Gm He plays a perfect part Dm Straight from his heart
Knowing the risk he takes
Bb C And hoping that the house Dm Is not brought down Dm C The role of a lifetime, it's living a fantasy Dm Bb A drama that you struggle to erase Gm Thoughts battle words over deeds Dm A war with such casualties Bb C F All played out behind a smiling face F F2/G God I need your guidance F/A F2/G Tell me what it means F F2/G F/A F2/G Bb To live a life where nothings as it seems Dm Spending days in silent fear Bb And spending nights in lonely prayer C Hoping that one day when you wake Dm Those feelings won't be there Dm C So confused because I feel complete with him Dm Bb When we're alone it all somehow makes sense Gm Dm Look into his eyes for some compromise
Remember the word, forget
Bb C F And try to bury something so intense F F2/G You learn to play the straight man F/A F2/G Your lines become routine F F2/G F/A F2/G Bb Never really saying what you mean Dm But I know the scene will change Bb White picket fences, and a dog
A trophy bride, and children
C Bb God I know that's what he wants Dm But Jason what role do I play Bb Am I a savior or a phase?
Am I here to damn you
C Eb Or to help you navigate this maze Gm Where confusion is a crime Eb So you fill your life with sound
And if you dance like hell
F Eb You hope you never touch the ground Gm What happens when the music stops? Eb In the silence will he stay? F One day he'll realize that these feelings Eb aren't going away Gm So we drive ourselves insane Ebmaj Spinning circles in our souls F As we dance around and play pretend F7 And once again Bb Reprise our roles
