C                       Am                      F           C
curtains open up the scene, spotlights shine on you and me, tonight 

C                      Am                      F                         C
Pretending for the crowd below, we put on a real good show, but it's a lie

F                                Am                                 
We can't help but cause a fight, it's the same old drama every night 

Dm                                     G*
I walk offstage cause this whole play is more than I can take 

C     Am                          F                           G              
Woah, I don't want it to be over, but we need a break before you break my heart 

C   Am                                F                                G     
Oh, we can't live this scene forever, right now you and me are better, better off apart 

F                                               G*
But I'll still love you when the lights come up for our intermission 

C                      Am                         F                 C  
I was one foot out the door, I couldn't play that part no more with you 

C                             Am                     F                     G 
The chemistry just wasn't there, I couldn't act like I didn't care, when I do, I do 

F                                Am                                 
We can't help but cause a fight, it's the same old drama every night 

Dm                                    G                      
I walk offstage cause this whole play is more than I can take 

C     Am                          F                          G               
Woah, I don't want it to be over, but we need a break before you break my heart 

C   Am                                F                               G      
Oh, we can't live this scene forever, right now you and me are better, better off apart 

F                                            Am  Dm                                        G      
But I'll still love you when the lights come up, yeah, I'll still love you when the lights come up 


F                      Am                                 Dm
We're like actors in a play, living out our love on stage 

                                G
You're just saying the same old lines to me, yeah 

F                            Am         G                     
Somewhere we fell off track, but I know love will lead us back 


C    Am                          F                           G               
Woah, I don't want it to be over, but we need a break before you break my heart 

C   Am                                F                                G
Oh, we can't live this scene forever, right now you and me are better, better off apart 

F                                            Am   Dm                                          G
But I'll still love you when the lights come off, I'll still love you when the lights come up  Woah

F                        Am                             
(Baby, I'm gonna love you when the lights come up ) Woah

Dm                        C                        G    
(I'm still gonna love you when the lights come up ) Woah

F                         Am                                   Dm   F  
(Baby, I'm gonna love you when the lights come up ) Yeah, yeah, yeah

G*
