Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm the phantom of
my own Oper[Caug]a[Eaug]
[F]Oh don't I know it[F#dim][D]
And I think [C]of you, [G]sweethea[C]rt[G]
[C]I'm lurking in the sha[Caug]d ows[Eaug]

[Verse 2]
[F]Of my mem[F#dim]ory[D]
We were go[C]ing to have a
[G]circus in the [C]bar[G]
[C]But the creature lurks amon[Caug]g us[Eaug]
[F]The ghost of our pas
[F#dim]t[D]
[C]The gho-o-ost of [G]of of our [C]love[G]

[Verse 3]
And if I had my own [G]way
I [C]always say that [F]phrase
I thought it was a [C]phase
But [G]it wasn't
[C]And so

[Verse 4]
here [Caug]I am
[Eaug]In my ba[F]ggy-clown costume
cos[D]tume
Perform [C]any funny trick and
[G]throw a kiss to the [C]audience[G]
[C]And I'm wearing a m[Caug]ask

[Verse 5]
[Eaug]
But [F]you don't have [F#dim]to ask[D]
[C]Who [G]I'm thinking abo[C]ut[G]
[C]

[Verse 6]
And there's a monkey
in the background
[Eaug]Hung by a [F]rope from the ceilin[D]g
And [C]I'm the villain,
acting [G]fierce
And stretching [C]whiskers
[G]toothsomely

[Verse 7]
The phantom wears a black coat
Long [C]trousers and a derby
[F]Stands ere[C]ct
And cracks [G]the whip loudly[D]

[Verse 8]
[C]I'm the phantom of my own[Caug] opera[Eaug]
[F]I perform all the[F#dim] parts[D]
And I think [C]of you, [G]sweethea[C]rt[G]
[C]I'm even the audienc[Caug]e[Eaug]
And I can[F]'t help think[D]ing
We were go[C]ing to have
[G]a circus in the [C]bar[G]
[C]Can't pull the[Caug] curtain

[Verse 9]
I can[F]'t help remember[F#dim]ing
[D]Turn [C]a somersault after
[D]singing [Dm]a ve[C]rse[G]
[C]And the song

[Verse 10]
is never [Caug]ending
[Fm]And I nev [F]er quit rehea[D]rsing
A perform[C]ance of [G]a sad
and twisted [C]art[G]
And if I had my own way
I [C]don't know what I'd do
[F]I probably wish it was y[C]ou[G]
