[C] [D] [Eb] [Ab]
I'm the life of the party, I'm every night, ain't gotta worry, [Eb] but then, [Db] the people who
say I'm carefree and gay, [Eb] don't know how I'm lonely, when the bright [Ab] lights go down.
People think cause I'm laughing, the past is behind, but they don't know the sorrow [Eb]
within,
[Cm] [Db] a heart that is hurting, in a man bound by [Eb] pride, who cries for an old love, when the
bright [Ab] lights go down.
[D] [Eb]
[Ab] When the party has ended, and the laughter has died, and I think of our [D] party [Eb] again,
then the [Db] smile leaves my face, and tears take its place, [Eb] and I cry for you darling, when
the bright lights [Ab] go down.
So until you return dear, I'll keep wearing a mask, that will hide how I'm feeling [D] [G] within,
[Eb] so if [Db] you're lonely too, I'll be right there with you, [Eb] I'll be thinking of you dear, when
the bright lights go [Ab] down.
