The Grand Illusion

(Dbsus)Welcome to The Grand Illusion;

come on in and see what's happ'nin',

pay the price, get your tickets for the (Ab)show.

The (Dbsus)stage is set, the band starts playin'.

suddenly your heart is pounding, wishing secretly you were a (Ab)star.

(Ebm)Don't be fooled by a radio,

(Ab)the T V or the (Bbm)magazines.

(Ebm)They'll show you photographs of how your life should be,

(Ab)but they're just someone else's (Bbm)(Absus)fantasies.

(Db)So if you think your life is (Bbm)complete confusion,

(Gbmaj7)because you never win the (Bbm)game,

(Db)just remember that (Bbm)it's a grand illusion,

(Gbmaj7)'cause deep inside we're all the (Absus)same,

all the (Bbm)same.

(Db)So if you think your life is (Bbm)complete confusion,

(Gbmaj7)'cause your neighbor's got it (Bbm)made,

(Db)just remember that (Bbm)it's a grand illusion;

(Gbmaj7)deep inside we're all (Absus)the same.

(Dbsus)America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition,

get yourself a brand new (Bbm)motorcar.

(Dbsus)Someday soon we'll stop to ponder,

what on earth's this spell we're under.

We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are.
