^A#dim/E Empty ^Bm spaces, ^Bsus2 what are we ^Bsus4 living for? ^Bm
Abandoned ^G places. ^G11# I guess we ^Em/G know the score. ^G
On and on. ^A#dim/E Does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another ^Bm hero. ^Bsus2 Another ^Bsus4 mindless crime. ^Bm
Behind the ^G curtain. ^G11# In the ^Em/G pantomime. ^G
Hold ^G the line. Does anybody want to take it anymore?

Verse 2 (16 bars):
Whatever ^C#m happens, ^C#sus2 I leave it all ^C#sus4 to chance. ^C#m
Another ^A heartache. ^A11# Another ^F#m/A failed romance. ^A
On and on ^Cdim/F# . Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm ^C#m learning. ^C#sus2 I must be ^C#sus4 warmer now. ^C#m
I'll soon be ^A turning ^A11# round the ^F#m/A corner now. ^A
Out ^F#m7 side the dawn is ^F#m6 breaking,
bu ^Em t inside in the dark I'm aching to be free.
