[Verse 1]
It [Em]seems
to me as [C]though I've been [Em]upon this stage before
[C]And jug[G]gled awa[D]y the nig[C]ht
for the same [Am]old c[Em]rowd[C]
[Em]These harlequins you see [C]with me,
they [Em]too have held the f[C]loor
As [G]here [D]once again they [C]strut
and they fret [Am]their [Em]hour[C]
I [G]see those half- famil[D]iar faces
[C]in the second [Am]row
[D]Ghost- like with [Am]the footlights in their [Bm]eyes
But [C]where or when [Em]we m[Am]et like this
last [G]time [D]I just don't k[Em]now
It's [Am]like a chord that rings
and never [D]dies[B]
For [Em]infinity

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em][C][Em][C][Em][C]

[Verse 2]
And [Em]now these [C]figures in the wings
with [Em]all their restless tune[C]s
Are [G]waiting [D]for som[C]eone
to call [Am]their [Em]names[C]
They [Em]walk the [C]backstage corridors
[Em]and prowl the [C]dressing- rooms
And [G]vanish [D]to specks [C]of light in
the pic[Am]ture- [Em]frames[C]
But [G]did they move [D]upon the
stage [C]a thousand years [Am]ago
[D]In some play in [Am]Paris or Mad[Bm]rid
And [C]was I [Em]there amon[Am]g them then,
in [G]some [D]travelling [Em]show
And [Am]is it all still locked inside my h[D]ead[B]
For [Em]in finity

[Interlude 2]
[C][Em][C][Em][C][Em][C]
[B]

[Verse 3]
And [Em]some of you [C]are harmonies
to [Em]all the notes I p[C]lay
[G]Although [D]we may not meet [C]still
you know [Am]me we[Em]ll[C]
[B]While oth[Em]ers talk in sec[C]ret keys
[Em]and transpose all I [C]say
And [G]nothing [D]I do or [C]try can
get [Am]through [Em]the spell[C]
So [G]one more time we'll [D]dim the
lights and [C]ring the curtain [Am]up
And [D]play again [Am]like all the times be[Bm]fore
But [C]far behind [Em]the mus[Am]ic
you can [G]almost [D]hear the[Em] sounds
Of [Am]laughter like the waves
upon the [D]shores[B]
Of in[Em]finity
