C Bb F C  Bb F C

[Chorus]
C      Bb                F         C
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
G                         C
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
       Bb                F             C
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
G                         C
I leave the stage, put my memories behind

[Verse 1]
F
How it started with a passing word
C
How you answered and I liked what I heard
F
Wasn't long before we fell in love
       E                       F  G
And we thought we'd never part

[Chorus]
C      Bb                F         C
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
G                         C
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
       Bb                F             C
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
G                         C
I leave the stage, put my memories behind

[Verse 2]
F
How I started to depend on you
C
How you tried to be dependable too
F
But you found it hard to change your ways
        E
And you merely broke my heart

[Verse 3]
F
Pretty soon I knew it had to end
C
Still I fool myself and try to pretend
F
But what's the good if there's another guy
         E                         F G Ab
And he's playing the leading part?

[Out-Chorus]
Db     B                 Gb        Db
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
Ab                        Db
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
       B                 Gb            Db
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
Ab                        Db
I leave the stage, put my memories behind
D      C                 G         D
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
A                         D
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
       C                 G             D
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
