[Verse 1]
Fmaj7                          C
Maureen and Sam will amaze you with songs
F                           C
That only could come from a star
F                          C      G     Am F
With a comical dance and a glance from afar
             G                         Fmaj7                     F
They're just trying to please and will be if you give them a chance


[Verse 2]
Am         G       F         G                   Am  G
Oh my God, did you hear what they said about the way that I talk?
F       G           F
Hold my head in the air
    G                                Fmaj7
The lights and the magic have faded away


[Verse 3]
F                    C
Maureen and Sam will continue to smile
F                                Em
Though their audience mumble and stumble in the aisle
Fmaj7            C          G      Am F
That first hello and the hasty goodbye
    G                         F                  Fmaj7
The backdrop is crumbling and dust is all that remains


[Verse 4]
F          G               F             G
I dare you to say that I'm cheap and I'm mean
                          F              G            F
'Cause you know that it's me holding the scenе in the end
    G                                Fmaj7
The lights and thе magic have faded away

[Verse 5]
Fmaj7                        Cmaj7
Maureen and Sam never were a success
             F                          Cmaj7
Though their picture still hangs on the dressing room wall
Fmaj7                 C              Am C F
The glory that comes, the glory that goes


[Verse 6]
Fmaj7                         Cmaj7
Please don't you cry and it's no use to talk
Fmaj7                          Cmaj7
You're no longer as young as before
       Fmaj7                   C     G          Am C F
And as Maureen lies dying, the crowd scream for more
        G                             F                               C
And the drummer still sits in the background waiting for his day to arrive
