         Am    F          F#dim F
Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign?
         Am   F         F#dim       F
Is it a people who have lost their minds?
           Am      F       F#dim   F
Is it the darkness? Is it a man resigned?
         Am        F        F#dim  F
Is it a best friend leaving you behind?

Is it ever gonna stop?
Will they ever let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough
'cause their lives are very slow

Time is ticking on
You don't get a second shot
And when you sell your soul for a leading role,
will The Lost Souls be forgot?

Chorus:
       C                 G
And if I can’t hear the music and
    Am           G
the audience is gone
    Fmaj7             G
I’ll dance here on my own
       C               G
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
      Am                G
Will play out one last song
 Fmaj7
Before the sun goes down

And is it envy?
Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realise
you'd better get out quick?
'Cause time is ticking on too long
to fake your smile
But then you sold your soul for
a leading role, so wear it for a while

Chorus

              Em
And there she goes
               G
And there she goes
    C
So run, Yoshimi, run.
       Em
Cause Billy’s got himself a gun
            Am
And you’re right to be afraid: They’ll
 F
send you to your grave
              Fm
‘Cause it’s strange and new

So run, Yoshimi, run.
‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun
And you’re right to be afraid: They’ll
send you to your grave
‘Cause it’s strange and new

And if I can't hear the music and
the audience is gone, I'll dance
