[Intro]
C   F   G   Am
F   C   G
[Verse 1]
 CStepping iFnto the spotlight, Gmade up and Amdressed for this special Fnight
Tongue tied, my Cheart’s beating fast, Gsame jokes and tired laughs
 CRehearsed and Ffully prepared, Glines learned but AmI’m feeling scared
 FDutch courage Cflows in my veins, Gneeded more but the bottle is drained
[Chorus]
FSwitch on, switch off, Cdim the lights low
 GFind the curtain, end of the show
FSwitch on, switch off, Cdim the lights low
 GFind the curtain, end of the show
[Verse 2]
 CWent wrong too Fmany times, Gmissed cues, forAmgotten punchlines
 FI was down, my Cwords wouldn’t flow, Gdifferent time but the same old show
 CMy posters Ffaded and torn, Gstage clothes are Amhanging unworn
 FAnd the queues they Cstretch around the block, Gsit at home with the radio on
[Chorus]
FSwitch on, switch off, Cdim the lights low
 GFind the curtain, end of the show
FSwitch on, switch off, Cdim the lights low
 GFind the curtain, end of the show
[Interlude]
C   F   G   Am

Stepping into the spotlight, made up and dressed for this special night

Tongue tied, my heart’s beating fast, same jokes and tired laughs

And the queues they stretch around the block, sit at home with the radio on
