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