G#m: 466444 or 464644
F#:  244322 or 244300


B           G#m
Living on a lighted stage
  F#             E
Approaches the unreal
    F#                  E
For those who think and feel
   B               G#m
In touch with some reality
  F#              B    A E   B A E
Beyond the gilded cage

B              G#m
Cast in this unlikely role,
F#              E
Ill-equipped to act
     F#           E
With insufficient tact
B               G#m
One must put up barriers
   F#             B    A E   B A E
To keep oneself intact

Chorus:
G#m           E
Living in the limelight
    F#        G#m
The universal dream
    E                 F#    G#m
For those who wish to seem
E                 F#
Those who wish to be
     G#m           E
Must put aside the alienation
F#              G#m
Get on with the fascination
    E
The real relation
    F#           G#m
The underlying theme

B A E x2

B           G#m
Living in a fisheye lens
       F#            E
Caught in the camera eye
  F#               E
I have no heart to lie
  B               G#m
I can't pretend a stranger
     F#           B    A E   B A E
Is a long-awaited friend

B                 G#m
All the world's indeed a stage
    F#             E
And we are merely players
   F#              E
Performers and portrayers
B              G#m
Each another's audience
   F#              B    A E   B A E
Outside the gilded cage

Chorus

Solo: G#m E F# G#m
