[Verse 1]
B C#
I climb up on the stage
G#m
Wearing an old man’s face
C#
I've said those words a thousand times
B C# G#m
I memorized the lines of Paris, The Prince and Friar
C#
I might one day play them too
B C# G#m
To get here took its time, I forgot to make a life
C#
Between the scripted ones I knew
B C# G#m
When admiration grew I was only loved by few
C#
My true love and passion - everyone knew
[Verse 2]
E F# B E F# B
Hamlet in Lapland, King Lear died in Vienna
E F# B E F# B
Venice and Othello, Madrid I am Henry the 8th
[Verse 3]
C#m
We all shall one day become what we play
Am
The marvelous, magical, bewildering array
C#m
Of trees and stones as we work our way up
Am
To become these icons of lust and what not
C#m Am
"We live in the sin of self-indulgent... larger than life
Yeah, that's what I am!
C#m
I am a goddamn Peter Pan, maaaaaaan!
Am
But the one palace I won't grow up in
D#
Staged a broken leg deep in my grave"
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m F#
When life becomes a play and I don't know the role
B D# G#m
I'm cast it's all wrong out I cannot escape before the
F# B
Curtain call
D# G#m
One last time build myself a wall to cry on,
F# B
To hide in plain view
D# G#m
I will fall deeper into the role written
F# B E F# E
In a drunken haze, it seems, by Shakespeare in me
[Chorus]
G#m
Stage, film and television,
B E
Twenty-four seven on the scene, I'm
G#m
Larger than life…
B E
Nightclubs, cabarets, spotlights never turn away now
F#
Larger than life…
The meaning of the fame is getting
D#m E
Lesser by the day for me somehow
G#m
Larger than life…
My friends all have families
B
Who now have their families
G#m B
I lived half a century abiding deep in vanities
G#m B
Am I now wise, when I've learned all the traits
Of a fool?
[Verse 4]
F# A#m F# A#m
The mirror now cries, ageless mask fades to true life
G# C# F#
To taste the immortal grace I lived the role I played
D#m C# F#
Alone in a golden cage
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
G#m F# B E G#m F# B
Life is what we make of it sometimes, sometimes,
G#m F# B E
Sometimes we just want to play
[Bridge]
E
So don't take life so seriously
F# B
Play, love, have fun, leave misery be
E
Regrets are built in a cold dark cage
E
Where nothing ever happens
E
Where nothing ever happens
E
So don't take life so seriously
F# B
Play, love, have fun, leave misery be
E
Regrets are built in a cold dark cage
E
Where nothing ever happens
E
Where nothing ever happens
E
Where nothing ever happens…
E
Where nothing ever happens…
E
Where nothing ever happens...
[Verse 6]
B C#
I climb down from the stage
G#m
Remove the young man's face
C#
And underneath reveal a sage
B C#
"Young man, you play my role
G#m
Breathe life into that soul
C#
Prepare to live a thousand lives"
[Verse 7]
E B G#m E G#m
Now when you think it's all over, you find love
F# B B E
A flower starts to bloom, a chapter starts anew
C#m B E
The greatest moment in life
[Verse 8]
F# A#m F# A#m
Mirror still lies, time is cruel, silent landslide
G# C# C# F#
It builds you up within, destroys the shell you're in
D#m C# D#m
And everything will fall into place
[Pre-Chorus]
D# G#m
When life becomes a play
F# B
And I don't know the role I'm cast
D#
It's all wrong, but I cannot
G#m F# B
Escape before the curtain call
D# G#m
One last time, build yourself a wall to cry on,
F# B
For anybody to see
D# G#m B
You will fall deeper into the role you wrote in a drunken
E F# E
Haze, it seems, with Shakespeare within
[Chorus]

Stage, film and television,

Twenty-four seven on the scene, I'm

Larger than life…

Nightclubs, cabarets, spotlights never turn away now

B
I lived half a century abiding deep in vanities
G#m B
Am I now wise, when I've learned all the traits

Of a fool?
