The Show Must Go On (Queen, 1991) [Intro] Bm G Em F# Em [Verse 1]
      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?
[Chorus]
                 Bm                   G
The show must go on, the show must go on, yeah,

  Em
inside my heart is breaking

   F#
my make-up may be flaking

         Em        Bm
but my smile still stays on.
[Verse 2]
         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
outside the dawn is breaking

    G#                            F#m          Em
but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free.
[Chorus]
                 Bm                   G
The show must go on, the show must go on, yeah,

  Em
inside my heart is breaking

   F#
my make-up may be flaking

         Em        Bm
but my smile still stays on.

F             G                Em            Am   G
  My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

F             G              Em              Am
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die

C#m7b5      D    Dsus4 D
I can fly - my friends.
[Chorus]
N.C.             Bm                         G
The show must go on, yeah, the show must go on,

     Em
I'll face it with a grin

    F#
I'm never giving in

    Em
o - on with the show.
[Solo] | Bm | Bm | G | G [Outro]

I'll top the bill, I'll overkill,

F#                                Em
I have to find the will to carry on.

                 Bm
The show must go on.
