Começo: (Tonight I could)
(G, F) 4x

G
Tonight I could be with you
F
Or waiting in the wings
G
Lift your heart with soaring song
F
Cut down the puppet strings
G                            F
(Cut down the puppet strings)

(G, F)
G
I wear a coat of drums
F
And dance upon your eyes
G
Turn the tables upside down
F
Change the lows to highs
G                        F
(Change the lows to highs)

(G, F)
D
I fill you up with butterflies
B
Crown the heads of kings
D
Be glad of first night nerves
B
For fear gives courage wings
G                      E
(Fear gives courage wings)

(G, E)
Bb          A       G
If I am on the sidelines
Bb                    A G
Chances are you'll miss
Bb          A       G
Wait alone and spotlit
Bb                      A  C
(For doctor theatre's kiss)

(G, F) 2x
  G
The stage becomes a ship in flames
F
I tie you to the mast
G
Throw your body overboard
F
The spotlight doesn't last
G                         F
(The spotlight doesn't last)

(G, F)
G
I could be with you
F
Or waiting in the wings

Lift your heart with soaring song

Cut down the puppet strings

Bb                    A     G
I may tap you on the shoulder
Bb                     A G
And whisper: Go, in red
Bb                  A          G
Strip your feet of lead my friend
Bb                    A C
Strip your feet of lead
(G, F) 3x

Spirits on tonight
