Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal,

for those who think and feel

in touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage.

B               G#m          F#              E 
Cast in this unlikely role, ill equipped to act, 
  F#             E 
within suficient tact, 
B               G#m        F#                B A E  
one must put up barriers to keep one self in tact.

   for those who wish to seem. 
   E                  F#      G#m           E 
   Those who wish to be must put a side the alienation, 
   F#                G#m 
   get on with the fascination, 
       E                  F#         G#m    E  F# 
   the real relation, the underlying theme.

B            G#m                  F#            E 
Living in a fish-eye lens, caught in the camera eye,

I have no heart to lie. 
   B               G#m           F#           B A E 
I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend.

B               G#m                 F#           E 
All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players, 
    F#              E 
performers and portrayers, 
B               G#m        F#               B  A  E 
each another's audience, outside the gilded cage

Fill up one measure with E and one with F#7add4 in 4/4 rhytm, 
go back once to the arpeggio. Then do the second riff of the intro twice and 
go back to the verses etc. etc. 
 
Solo: 
----- 
 
Right before the solo in the chorus, instead of returning to the chorus 
arpeggiations, play the G# sus 4 for one more measure, then go ahead with: 
 
-_------------------------------------------------------------------- 
2-0-!-12->-(9)------------------------------------------------------- 
-----------------------------------------X-11------------------------ 
---------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Hold the last note almost indefinately. A little (or actually, a bit more) 
feedback wouldn't hurt. It's the incredibly long magic note. 
 
After the solo, play the chorus arpeggiation once more, and get back into the 
chorus. The final chord of the song is the G#sus4 again.
