   Dm   C   Bb     G

Verse 1:
Dm               C           Bb
   Let's get the show on the road
Dm        C              Bb
   At the curtain take a bow
Dm     C            Bb
   New Haven just a rendevous to take you to
  Dm        C                  Bb
A lover who was then but never now

Dm     C              Bb
   And Susan paid the lady
Dm     C                   Bb
   Who called the players' song
Dm        C           Bb
   Just a figurine of stagehand reveries
Dm         C                           Bb
   I guess up-and-coming can't be that wrong

Dm  C  Bb -> Dm  C  G ->

Verse 2:
Let's get the show on the road, babe
The spotlight's on the stage
Somehow it seems that I heard these words before
Did you forget to turn the page?

Just remember what they told you
About how the show goes on
How can you come back if you've never been away?
How can you sing without a song?

Chorus:
      Dm         C             Dm      C     Bb
And today is for sale and it's all you can afford
Dm          C
By your own admission
    Dm           C       Bb
The whole things got you bored
         Dm               C
Well the Lord chooses the good ones
        Dm       C       Bb
And the bad ones use the Lord

Dm  C  Bb -> Dm  C  G ->

Verse 3:
Let's get the show on the road, babe
Won't you take a look a round?
It seems so easy climbing to the top
You better know the way back down

I can't believe you really stumbled
But I always knew you'd fall
It seems so easy to say I knew you when
I'd rather it was not at all

(Chorus)
