Intro: 
   C    D   G 
Oooo oooo ooo 
  
G 
Well, you should be an actress  
                      Am 
You play your part so well  
Your act is so believeable 
                     G    
That no one else can tell  
 
You say the lines but I see  
                      C  
That you don?t really love me  
You keep me around to be your faithful clown  
     G                           Bm 
Till someone you can love comes along  
    C                 Am    
And you?ll keep on pretending  
  C         D            G 
Because the show must go on  
 
Yes, you should be an actress  
As lovely as you are  
The way you play on emotions  
You?d shame the brightest star  
 
You?re acting all the time  
No, you?re not really mine  
I?m just another scene in your ?play acting? scheme  
No, you don?t love me at all  
But when you walk away  
That?s when the curtain will fall  
 
         Bm         F#m        C  
But I?ll go all the way to the end of the play  
D                      G     G+  
I?ll be a part of your masquerade  
  C        D           G              Bm 
Although I know it may be the saddest show 
        C        D       G  
In the life of a fool on parade
