The Last Show On Earth

D         C#   D    G
I stood behind the stage
D             C#  D   G
the crowd was wailing wild
Bm
how was they to know
                E7                 
that this would be the final show 
       A
on this Earth

D             C#  D   G
the clock was ticking wild
D        C#   D    G
the atmosphere was tense

Bm                                 
a girl who wanted autographs on her
E7
 T-shirt
                      A
came up whispering to me:
D             D/C
"don't make a point
             B+  B
don't make a statement

Continues after the ad
Em           Em/Eb               
don't try to tell them what's 
      G/D      A
right or wrong
D              D/C          B+   
just make them happy for a short 
  B
while
Em           A                D
make the performance of your life"

D             C#  D    G
The crowd was getting loud
D           C# D     G
why me and why not "Frankieboy"?
Bm
this is like a nightmare
           E7                    
am I vain - or can I just not see 
      A
this through?

D          D/C              B+     B
I went on stage and sang my guts out
Em         Em/Eb       G/D       A
I felt the stiGmas in my hands
D        C/D         B+   B
I was a healer for a short while
Em           A                    
and then the spotlights just went 
G
out
G                  (Gm) D
say good-bye, say good-bye

(solo)  D     C#    D     G
        D     C#    D     G
        Bm    E7    A
        D     D/C   Bm
        Em    Em/Eb G/D  A
        D     D/C   Bm
        Em    A     D

I went on stage and sang my guts out
no resurrection was in sight
this was the moment of the last show
the last show on this Earth
say good-bye, say good-bye, say 
good-bye, say good-bye

( D/C Em/Eb means D chord and C bass
