C  Am  Dm  G


[Verse 1]

                  C
When the curtains close
    F                     C
The dimmed light makes it harder
   F                C
To sit next to each other
                   F               G
'Cause there ain't nothing left of tenderness


[Verse 2]

                  C
When the curtains close
    F                C
His mind is with the bottle
       F                   C
But he knows that it won’t solve
        F                G                 Am
All his problems and his bitterness


[Pre-Chorus]

                              F
But when thoughts wonder off again
                              Dm                   G
There's that inner dark side, getting darker, it's taking over you


[Chorus]

        C
So that every time you feel
    Am
And every time you see
    Dm
And every time you hear
                 G
You think what's happening to me


[Verse 3]

                  C
When the curtains close
      F             C
While he is walking offstage
    F             C
His fake smile is replaced
           F                   G
By all the tears that he can't hold inside


[Bridge]

                              C
Just like a clown without his fake nose
 F                   C
Afraid that it might show
        F          C
How the insecurity grows
            F              G                  Am
Now there's only pain that will remain


[Pre-Chorus]

                             F
But when thoughts wonder of again
                              Dm                   G
There's that inner dark side, getting darker, it's taking over you


[Chorus]

        C
So that every time you feel
    Am
And every time you see
    Dm
And every time you hear
                 G
You think what's happening to me


[Solo]

C   Am   Dm   G   Am


[Pre-Chorus]

                              F
But when thoughts wonder of again
                              Dm                   G
There's that inner dark side, getting darker, it's taking over you


[Chorus]

        C
So that every time you feel
    Am
And every time you see
    Dm
And every time you hear
                 G
You think what’s happening to me


[Chorus]

        C
So that every time you feel
    Am
And every time you see
    Dm
And every time you hear
                 F                 G             C
You think what’s happening, what’s going on with me
