[Verse 1]
D
If I couldn't sing
Bm A
How love's the hardest easy thing
G
And if I couldn't sing you my life

Hiding here in the spotlight
D
And if you couldn't hear me
Bm A
If I couldn't feel
G
If I couldn't feel your touch again
When nerve ends fray and there's nothing to say
D
Not even a prayer
It's a beautiful night somewhere
[Pre-Chorus]
D
(Ooh) Oh-oh-oh-oh
Bm
(Ooh) Oh-oh-oh-oh
A G
(Ooh, ooh) If I couldn't say it now
Tell me how
[Chorus]
Bm A
If this is love, and love is all we've got
Em
You can show me what it is
G
I can show you what it's not
Bm A
If this is love, don't act suprised when you get hurt
G
Even if our dreams lay in the dirt
D
We were once the greatest show on earth
[Verse 2]
D
Is that a smile or a tear?
Bm A
Is it all show business here?
G
The cinema that is stained glass
Bm
You're at the altar at our wedding mass
D
Is this a church of love or fear?
Have we made God feel like a stranger here?

[Pre-Chorus] D (Ooh) Oh-oh-oh-oh Bm (Ooh) Oh-oh-oh-oh A G (Ooh, ooh) Say it now Tell me how [Chorus] Bm A If this is love, and love is all we've got Em You can show me what it is G I can show you what it's not Bm A If this is love, we make cathedrals of our hurt G People digging their dreams out of the dirt We were once the greatest show on earth [Outro] Bm Love is a business that works at night A I sold myself for less than was right Em You taught me what I was worth G In the greatest show on earth Bm Made a profession out of breaking your heart A You call it lies, I call it art Em I was some of your best work G We were once the greatest show on earth Bm Love is a business you shouldn't trust A Breathe on me and I'm love and I'm lust Em Forever or a flirt? G The greatest show on earth Bm The light scatters things can get worse A These dark matters of the universe G Could not compete with us Bm D We were once the greatest show on earth
