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
