You can sing every line of every song

No you dont have to steal the show

It was your show all along
                   F
As the orchestra plays
    Am
The people take the seats
                       Dm
Theres no room left in this house
    A#
Its only you and me

Everything that you do

As we start rehearsing every scene
The words to everything
We realize that the crowd is listening
And then the tears fall down on your face
At exactly the right place
As the people start to stand up in the aisle
You can hear the sound of violins
On every street tonight
You can see all lovers dancing 'round
I'll be watching

Chorus

F     C        Dm      C                    A#

All things you see end up where they should be
