  			Bm7        
The actors and jesters are here 
E9 
The stage is in darkness and clear 
Em9 
For raising the curtain 
                                D6 
and no-one's quite certain whose play it is 
 
Bm7 
How long ago, how long 
           E9 
If only we had listened then. 
        Em9                          D6  
If we'd known just how right we were going to be. 
       Bm7 
For we dreamed a lot 
And we schemed a lot 
       E9                               Em9                 D6 
And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.   Aaah. 
 
D(V)            A                  A G 
If everyone was listening you know 
D(V)                     A                      A G 
There'd be a chance that we could save the show 
Bm                          
Who'll be the last clown 
E9 
To bring the house down? 
G  A   G      A   G     A       G ...         
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall 
  C 
 
Well, what is your costume today? 
Who are the props in your play? 
You're acting a part which you thought from the start 
was an honest one. 
Well how do you plead? 
An actor indeed! 
Go re-learn your lines, 
You don't know what you've done 
The finale's begun. 
 
If everyone was listening you know 
There'd be a chance that we could save the show, 
Who'll be the last clown 
To bring the house down? 
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall.
