[Verse 1]
G Dm C
- Well, this is such a sad affair
Bb Gm
I've opened up my heart
F C Am
Oh, so many times
Dm
But now it's closed
Gm Dm
-- Oh, my dear
Gm Dm
-- Every salted tear it wrings
Gm F Dm
Bitter sweet applause.
[Chorus]
Eb Dm
-- But when the show is in full swing
Eb Dm
-- Every once in a while
Eb Dm
-- High stepping chorus lines mean I'm forgetting
Eb Dm
-- Mein lullaby liebchen.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Dm C
How rich in contrast love can be
Bb G
Sometimes I'm quite amused
F Dm
To see it twist and turn
C Dm
To taste both sweet and dry
G Bb
- These vintage years
Gm Dm
-- Lovers you consume, my friend
Gm F Dm
As others - their wine.
[Chorus]
Eb Dm
Nein, das ist nicht das ende der welt
Eb Dm
Gestrandet an leben und kunst
Eb Dm
-- Und das spiel geht weiter -- wie man weiss
Eb Dm
-- Noch viele schönste wiedersehn.
[Interlude]
| Gm C | F D | Em E | Dm | N.C. |
[Outro]
Dm C
And now, as you turn to leave
Bb Gm
You try to force a smile
F
As if to compensate
E D Db
Then you break down and cry.
