Chorus:
C      A#                  F         C
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
G                           C
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
        A#                F             C
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
G                          C
I leave the stage, put my memories behind

F
How it started with a passing word
C
How you answered and I liked what I heard
F
Wasn't long before we fell in love
         E                    F G
And we thought we'd never part

Chorus

How I started to depend on you
How you tried to be dependable too
But you found it hard to change your ways
And you merely broke my heart

Pretty soon I knew it had to end
Still I fool myself and try to pretend
But what's the good if there's another guy
And he's playing the leading part?

Chorus:
C#      B                 F#        C#
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
G#                         C#
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
        B                 F#            C#
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
G#                        C#
I leave the stage, put my memories behind
 D      C                  G         D
Velvet curtains draw the show to a close
 A                          D
Our scene is over and the whole world knows
        C                 G             D
Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind
