Verse 1:
 
F
 Baby, although I chose this lonely life,
              C
It seems it's strangling me now.
F
 All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic cars;
            C
They're all laughing at me now.
 
Chorus 1:
 
              Dm       Am
Oh, I've been used, oo-ooh,
                      Dm               Am
I've been taken for a fool, oh, what a fool.
                Dm       Am
I broke all the rules... ooh, yeah,
      Bb                    F
But I won't let the show go on.

Verse 2:
 
F
 Baby, look there's an enormous crowd of people,
                C
And they're all after my blood.
  F
I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theatre,
           C
And let me out, let me out.
 
Chorus 2:
 
                 Dm    Am
Oh, I've been so bli...ind, yeah,
            Dm                                Am
I've wasted time, wasted, wasted, oh, so much time.
               Dm         Am
Walking on the wire; high wire.
      Bb                    F
But I won't let the show go on.

Oh, I've been so blind, oh yes, I've been so blind,
          Dm                   Am
Wasted my time, wasted so much time.
               Dm         Am
Walking on the wire; high wire.
      Bb                    F
But I won't let the show go on.

Verse 4:
 
F                                            C
 Baby, I wish you'd help me escape, and help me get away.
F                                                C
 Leave me outside my address; far away from this masquerade.
 
Chorus 4:
 
             Dm                   Am
I've been so used, I've been so a-bused,
            Dm                    Am
I've been a fool; I broke all the rules.
             Dm              Am
I've been so used, oh, and a-bused.
      Bb
But I won't let the show go... I said; I won't let the show,
                          F
Oh, won't let the show go on.
