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
