[Intro]
Am9  Fmaj13  Am9   Fmaj13
Am9  Fmaj13  Am9   Fmaj13
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am9                    Fmaj13
We're all alone on the stage tonight
G6                          Dm      C   Bm
We've been told we're not afraid of you
 Am9                  Fmaj13      G
We know all our lines so well, uh-huh
                        D5
We've said them so many times
C              Bm   Dsus2
Time and time again
C              Bm
Line and line again
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bb                 Gm
Ooh, yeah, you're amazing!
Ab                Fm
We think you're incredible
Bb               Gm
You say we're fantastic
Ab                 Fm
But still we don't head the bill
 
 
[Chorus]
C         C/B       Am       G
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
    D         D   C   G/B
Unbelievable!
C         C/B       Am        G
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
    D         D   C   G/B
Unbelievable!
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                 F
When the actor reaches his death
         G                          Dm              C   G/B
You know it's not for real, he just holds his breath
Am                  F             G
But he always dives too soon, too fast to save himself
                     D5     D5/C
He'll never make the screen
                      Bm       Dsus2
He'll never make the 'Sweeney'
D5/C          Bm     Dsus2
Be that movie queen
D5/C          Bm
He's too busy hitting the vaseline
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bb                 Gm
Ooh, yeah, you're amazing!
Ab               Fm
We think you are really cool
Bb              Gm
We'd give you a part, my love
Ab                Fm
But you'd have to play the fool
 
 
[Chorus]
C         C/B       Am       G
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
    D         D   C   G/B
Unbelievable!
C         C/B       Am        G
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
    D         D   C   G/B
Unbelievable!
 
 
[Outro]
Am                     F
We're all alone on the stage tonight
Am
We're all alone
F
On the stage
Am
Tonight
 
G   Dsus4  Am     G  Dsus4  Am  G
 
Fm                      Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Great job on a haunting song, thank you!

Really wow for the tab!!! My only confusion is the Fmaj13 which you tabbed out including the G note and notes which would define Fmaj13 are E, D and D#... Please reach out

Fantastic song, great tabs
