Am Dm E
Am Dm E


[Verse 1]
Am                           Dm    E
Would you excuse me for this madness?
   Am                                 Dm E
I know, you better know, you better know
Am                               Dm     E       Am
That when it all comes down you must be on your way
N.C.
(Our way, our way, our way)
Dm                E                 Am
Fake it 'til you make it, you just might survive
Dm               E                Am
Take a hit and greet them with a smile
   Dm            E               Am   G   F
Mentation, preparations for the next surprise
Dm       E
Dim the lights


[Chorus]
Am           E/G#
Try one more time
        C/G                  D/F#   Dm/F
Take a chance, don't waste a day now
             Am/E                    B7       E      Am
Give it your all 'cause in fact the show has just begun
             E/G#
So let them laugh
          C/G             D/F#  Dm/F
Don't you rest until it's over
             Am/E          B7
Yeah, don't listen to the rain


[Interlude]
Am Dm E (4x)


[Verse 2]
Am                             Dm  E
You're too obtuse to know the sadness
   Am                                  Dm  E
I know, you better know, you'll never know
Am                               Dm     E     Am Dm E
That after all this time you'll have to be insane
Dm                E             Am
When you're on vacation, I'm on overtime
Dm                 E             Am
Maybe you should change your paradigm?
Dm               E               Am   G   F
Now you must be waiting for the next surprise
Dm          E
Close your eyes


[Chorus]
Am           E/G#
Try one more time
        C/G                  D/F#   Dm/F
Take a chance, don't waste a day now
             Am/E                    B7       E      Am
Give it your all 'cause in fact the show has just begun
             E/G#
So let them laugh
          C/G             D/F#  Dm/F
Don't you rest until it's over
             Am/E          B7  Am
Yeah, don't listen to the rain


[Bridge]
Dm E Am (8x)


[Chorus]
Am           E/G#
Try one more time
        C/G                  D/F#   Dm/F
Take a chance, don't waste a day now
             Am/E                    B7       E      Am
Give it your all 'cause in fact the show has just begun
             E/G#
So let them laugh
          C/G             D/F#  Dm/F
Don't you rest until it's over
             Am/E          B7
Yeah, don't listen to the rain
