Empty (B minor) spaces, (Bsus2)

Another hero, (B minor) (Bsus2)
another mindless (Bsus4) crime (B minor)
Behind the (G major) curtain, (E minor6/G)
in the pantomime (E minor/G) (G major)
(E minor7) Hold the line, (E minor6)
does (F sharpsus4) anybody want (F sharp major)
to take it any (E minor) more? (G major)
Chorus 1
The show must go (B minor) on (Bsus2)
(Bsus4) (B minor)
The show must go (G major) on, (E minor6/G) yeah
(E minor/G) (G major)
In (E minor7) side my heart is breaking (E minor6)
My (F sharpsus4) make-up may be flaking (F sharp major)
But my smile (E minor) (Edim) still (B minor) stays on
(B minor)

(F sharp minor7) On and on, (F sharp minor6)
does (G sharpsus4) anybody know (G sharp major)
what we are living (F sharp minor) for? (F sharpdim)

I guess I'm (C sharp minor) learning, (C sharpsus2)
I must be warmer (C sharpsus4) now (C sharp minor)
I'll soon be (A major) turning, (F sharp minor6/A)
'round the corner (F sharp minor/A) now (A major)
Out (F sharp minor7) side the dawn is breaking (F sharp minor6)

(E minor) (Edim) still
