[Verse 1]
C                           C
  You came from down south,   words 
in your mouth,
F                            
  you had your tricks and your 
  F
needs.
Dm                        Dm
  Bounce up and stronger,   lasted 
longer,
   G                        G
it came between you and me.

C                           E
  You headed straight down,   
nothing to hide now,
Am                         F
  dancin' to your master's tune.
        F                         
I could see in your eyes you were   
F
ready to die,
        C                      C
tell me what was I supposed to do.

[Chorus]
             Dm      Dm           
The curtains   rise,   the show 
   G         G
goes on,
              C     C             
wish you were here,   I know that 
       Am       Am
you're gone.
         Dm      Dm              
Curtains   rise,   the show goes 
F             G                  
on and on and on, now that you're 
(C)
gone.

[Verse 2]
C                      C
  World in your hands,   so many 
plans,
F                        F
all of them ahead on the road.
        Dm                         
We were drinking in the parking 
  Dm
lot,   singing with the strangers,
    G                 G
too happy to feel the cold.

       C                      E
When I stand on the stage you know 
you're standing next to me,
Am                        F
  you're right here by my side.
F                F
  Singing along,   sick of my song
       C                       
that I know you heard a hundred 
 C
times.

[Chorus]
             Dm      Dm           
The curtains   rise,   the show 
   G         G
goes on,
              C     C             
wish you were here,   I know that 
       Am       Am
you're gone.
         Dm      Dm              
Curtains   rise,   the show goes 
F             G                  
on and on and on, now that you're 
(C)
gone.

[Verse 3]
C                  C
Down in deep water Windham County's 
daughter
F                         F
bever get to look in your eyes,
Dm                 Dm
  it just happened   like thunder 
clapping,
G                         G
leaving us to wonder why.

         C                 E
Into the arms of the river   you 
were delivered,
Am            F
only 24 years old,
F                          F
  don't tell me everything happens 
for a reason,
C                      N.C.
  that line is getting old.

wish you were here,   I know that 
       Am       Am
you're gone.

Curtains   rise,   the show goes
