If Everyone Was Listening
Key: CEnglish
Verse
The Bm7actors and jesters are here
E9The stage is in darkness and clear
Em9For raising the curtain
And no-one's quite certain whose D6play it is
Pre-chorus
Bm7How long ago how long
If only we E9had listened then.
If we'd Em9known just how right we were D6going to be.
For we Bm7dreamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we E9tried to sing of love before the Em9stage fell apart. D6Aaah.
Chorus

BmWho'll be the last clown
E9To bring the house down?
GOh no ApleaGse no Adon't Glet Athe Gcurtain ...fall
Verse
CWell what is your costume today?
Who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
Was an honest one.
Well how do you plead?
An actor indeed!
Go re-learn your lines
You don't know what you've done
The finale's begun.
Chorus
If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no please no don't let the curtain fall.
