Baby although I've chose this lonely life.... It seems it's stranglin' me now

All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car...They're all laughin' at the lie
Dm Am7 Dm Am7
Oh, I've been used Ooo-oo-oo-oo... I've been a fool Oh, what a fool
Dm Am7 Bb F n.c.
I broke all the rules.... Oh, yeah..... But I must let the show go on
F C
Baby, there's an enormous crowd of people... They're all after my blood
F C
I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theatre.... Let me out, let me out
Dm Am7
Oh, I'm so blind.... Oh, I'm blind...
Dm Am7

Walkin' on the wire.... high wire... But I must let the show go on

Leave me outside my address... Far away from this masquerade
Dm Am7
'Cause I've been blind.... Oh, so blind...
Dm Am7
I wasted time Wasted, wasted, all too much time
Dm Am7 Bb
Walkin' on the wire..... high wire... But I must let the show go
