Hiding in the wings      forever

We'll take the stage,     it's now or never
        D                Gm
And the whole thing reeks   of cheap striptease

The matinee idylls, they all fall to their knees
Em                            A
 It's not all first nights at all
C                                 F          Esus4
 There's nothing more dull than a curtain call
D      Dsus2 G      G6 D       Dsus2 G     G6
             (Get on with it)

Playing Romeo,      you make your raw debut  (Yes you do)
D               Dsus2    G               G6 G6/F#
Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue
Em                               A
 It's not all bouquets and white crayons
C                            F           Esus4
 They're going to laugh when you look down
Em                           A
 I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy
F#m                      E                      G    E    G  E    D
 You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along
