Welcome to the greatest show
Em A
Greatest show on earth
C
You've never seen before

Hear the fairytale unfold
[Verse 2]
Em B
What's behind the smoke and glass?
Em A C
Painted faces, everybody wears a mask
A C
Are you selling them your soul?
A D
Will you be left out in the cold?
[Verse 3]

Is it all blue skies?
C
Fun and games until you fall
G Em G
Then you're left without anyone at all
D A
You're ridin' on a shooting star

With a smile upon your face
B Em
But soon the shine fades
[Bridge]
A
And you're left out all alone

Wonderin' "where did they all go?"
Oh
[Verse 4]
Em B
Been jaded, hated
G D C
Who'll be around when the limelight's faded?
Em B
Been shot down, pushed out
D C
Made to smile when I wanted to frown
[Outro]
Em
Always takin' a bow
B
Always workin' the crowd
D
Always breaking new ground
C
Always playin' the clown
Em
Who'll be stickin' it out?
B
Who'll be stayin' around
G E
When the lights go down?
