F#m                    E         C#m
Life is a never-ending show, old sport
  F#m                           E7
Except the minor detail that it ends
    F#m                            B       G#m
The overture's a lifetime, but the show is short
F#m                D7         G#7
Here with all your family and friends

    A
You run the race, you blurt your lines
     Am
They put your face on shirts and shrines
    E                           A#
And giant signs a thousand feel tall
E
And don't stop dancing
C#
Don't stop dancing
         B       E
'til the curtain call
 
F#m         B            E        C#m
Shows are a never-ending life, of course
  F#m             B7                 E
A silhouette that stays when you are gone
     F#m        B                E           G#m
What use is the struggle and the strife, old horse?
F#m             A7           C#7
End it and your legacy lives on
 
    A
The chatter stops, the crowd departs
  Am
A needle drops, the music starts
  E                             A#m
A song you taught me when I was small
C#
Don't stop dancing
 
Don't stop dancing
