CAPO 3rd Fret
[Intro}
Em C (repeat 6 times)
[Verse I]
Em C Em C
It seems to me as though I've been upon this stage before
G D C Am Em C
And juggled away the night for the same old crowd
Em C Em C
These harlequins you see with me, they too have held the floor
G D C Am Em
As here once again they strut and they fret their hour
G D C C/B Am Am/G
I see those half-familiar faces in the second row
D Am Bm
Ghost-like with the footlights in their eyes
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
But where or when we met like this last time I just don't know
Am D B7
It's like a chord that rings and never dies
Em C Em C Em C Em C
For infinity
[Verse II]
Em C Em C
And now these figures in the wings with all their restless tunes
G D C Am Em C
Are waiting around for someone to call their names
Em C Em C
They walk the backstage corridors and prowl the dressing rooms
G D C Am Em
And vanish to specks of light in the picture frames
G D C C/B Am Am/G
But did they move upon the stage a thousand years ago
D Am Bm
In some play in Paris or Madrid?
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And was I there among them then, in some travelling show
Am D B7
And is it all still locked inside my head
Em C Em C Em C Em C
For infinity
[Verse III]
Em C Em C
And some of you are harmonists to all the notes I play
G D C Am Em C
Although we may not meet still you know me well
Em C Em C
While others talk in secret keys and transpose all I say
G D C Am Em C
And nothing I do or try can get through the spell
G D C C/B Am Am/G
So one more time we'll dim the lights and ring the curtain up
D Am Bm
And play again like all the times before
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
But far behind the music you can almost hear the sounds
Am D B7
Of laughter like the waves upon the shores
Em C Em C Em C Em C
Of infinity
