thousand hands applaud tonight
[Bb] I [Fm] sing my song, my stars shine [Gm] bright
I stop and smile, [Ab] I take my [Bb] vow
I leave the stage and then somehow
[Eb]
Backstage, I'm [Cm] lonely backstage, I [Ab] cry
You've gone away and [Bb] each night [Ab] I seem to die a little
[Eb] Out on that stage, [Ab]
[Eb] I play the star
[Bb] [Fm] I'm famous now, I've come so [Gm] far
I've played the [Ab] school, I let love [Bb] go
I didn't know I'd miss you so
[Eb] Backstage, I'm lonely [Cm] backstage, I cry
I've been [Ab] hating myself [Bb] since I let you say [Eb] goodbye
_ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Can I cry [Eb] _ a little bit?
There's [Db] nobody to notice
[Abm] Can I cry [Eb] if I want [Ab] to?
No [Db] one cares
_ [Cm] Why _ [F] _ _ [Bbm] _
_ can't [Fm] I pretend
_ _ [Bbm] _
That you love [Fm] me again?
_ [Bbm] All [Cm] I've had [Db] has been taken [Eb] from [Bbm] me
[Cm] Now I'm crying [Db] and _ _ [Eb] _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] the pain's forgiven
Just [Bb] one kiss, [F] not a thousand gowns
Just [Bb] one smile and [F] _ that's worth living
All it [Gm] does means to build [C] my world [F] Oh, no
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Dearest darling, I hate to write to say
That [A] I won't be home [D] anymore
[G] Has something happened to me?
Why'd I wish I'd been home and [A] I'm not the same [D] anymore?
Oh, [C] I was only 24, [Am] I was in culture
[C] How only one day [Am] away from your _ arm
[F] Passed the [G] welcoming light [F]
to [G] rest for the night
[N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] I'm _ _ [Ab] born out to be strong [Gb] and stand as tall [Ab] as I can
_ [Gb] [Ab] Yes, [Ab] I'm born out to be strong [Gb] and if you run along
[E] And think it like [Ab] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Db] _ I'm sane, [Gb] don't you worry, I'm fine
[Db]
You [Ab] never [Db] think after [Gb] you've kissed me [Ab] goodbye _
How _ [Gbm] I'll break [Ab] down and [Db]
fall
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
