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