Intro
G#m
G#m D#
Let's hope this time we can get this band back together again!
[Verse One]
G#m F# Fb
You join the underground cabaret today
Fb D#
(Well, hey there, tell me your name)
G#m
You try to run and tell the word
F# Fb
But you're stranded in a darkened cave
Fb D#
(Oh, Henry, we hate you the same)
Fb
So listen up my friend
F#
There's more than meets the eye
Fb
You power up the studio
F#
And bring them to life
G#m
Now play the beat that trickles through the halls
Fb
Or else your life is nevermore
D#
Don't worry chum
N.C.
It's not the music that dies
G#m
Now listen up!
[Pre-Chorus One]
G#m F#
Our life support machine
Fb D#
Was brought to life by remarkable hands
G#m F#
Forget about the hell we've seen
Fb D#
The time has come to revive our band
Fb
So bang the drums to a rhythm
D#
Captivating the beat
Fb
And press the keys on the piano
D#
For the ritual please
G#m
The song's alive with the night
Fb
With your help we'll revive
D#
The devil's advocate
N.C.
Is staring right through your lies
G#m F# Cb
You're just returning our old strings tonight
D#
I hope you turn on the light now!
[Chorus One]
G#m
Can I get an amen in here? (Amen!)
Fb
You see the magic of art
F# G#m
It would tear you apart if you knew!
G#m
Can I get an amen in here? (Amen!)
Fb
This magic was fueled by your heart
F# Fb
But the dreams in his eyes were untrue
D# G#m
He had bigger plans for the band
F# Cb Fb D#
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
N.C. G#m
You're gonna break us out of this hell!
G#m D#
[Verse Two]
G#m F#
We've been stars since the rhythm days
Fb D#
But our instruments have all grown tired
G#m F#
And in the end our only dream was to dance
Fb D#
They took the dance away and we got retired
Fb
But that was long ago
F#
We have a new change of face
Fb
We turned it up a couple notches
F#
With a brand new pace
G#m
You think they all just erased us
Fb
Betrayed us, enslaved us
D#
But the deed is done
N.C.
And now we want to get out!
G#m
Now listen up!
[Pre-Chorus Two]
G#m F#
Ain't it nice to be underground
Fb D#
With a good ol' friend like me
G#m
(A# friend like me, yeah)
F#
So you notice that sign, we ain't lying
Fb D#
But sit down and take a seat (Take a seat)
Fb
There's an exit for sure
D#
But that's for shmucks
Fb
But a little bit of ink
D#
And a couple of bucks
G#m
We can reopen the curtains
F#
And show off the strut
D#
But for goodness sake
G#m
You gotta just believe!
F# Fb
You're just returning our old strings tonight
D#
I hope you turn on the light now!
[Chorus Two]
G#m
Can I get an amen in here? (Amen!)
Fb
You see the magic of art
F# G#m
It would tear you apart if you knew!
G#m
Can I get an amen in here? (Amen!)
Fb
This magic was fueled by your heart
F# Fb
But the dreams in his eyes were untrue
D# G#m
He had bigger plans for the band
F# Cb Fb D#
By demand we came back to this darkened cell
N.C.
You're gonna break us out!
[Bridge]
Fb
Go to sleep my little sheep
F#
It's time to rest your head, whether alive or dead
Cb F#
I am the keeper of the key
G#m
That will set us all free
G#m
I bring the demon back to life
Fb
(Bring the demon back to life)
Fb
There's a song that I sing that shows us the light
F#
Even in the lighter side of hell, we sing with delight
Cb
Play the notes that I require
F#
This will please my desires
G#m
You have given me the tools
Fb
To restart this fire!
Fb
There's a twisted fate
F#
That controls us and betrays us
Cb
My friends have a death wish
F# G#m
And all of this is him to blame!
Fb
Now we've brought him to his knees
F#
Your only hope to escape this is to embrace this
Cb
We need your help
F# Gn
To keep this demon at bay!
N.C.
Let's end this today!
G#m
You're the conductor of this performance now, Henry!
G#m
Will you take their word, or ours?
D#
Golly I hope this works!
G#m D#
You turned on this machine. Now you have to believe!
N.C. G#m
Can I get an amen in here? (Can I get an amen?)
Fb
You see the magic of art (Of art!)
F# G#m
It would tear you apart if you knew!
G#m
Can I get an amen in here? (Can I get an amen in here?)
Fb
This magic was fueled by your heart (Your heart!)
F# Fb
But the dreams in his eyes were untrue (They're untrue!)

He had bigger plans for the band

By demand we came back to this world of grey
