         Dm                    Am 
You're a fraud and you know it 
         Dm                       Am 
But it's too good to throw it all away 
                    Dm 
Anyone would do the same 
                    Am 
You've got 'em going 
           Dm 
And you're careful not to show it 
   Am                             G 
Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit 
         G 
It's like magic 
         Bb                              Bb 
But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game 
                    Dm7 
Anyone would do the same 

( Am  C  Dm  Dm7 ) 
( Am  C  Dm ) 


                   Dm                      Am 
So now that you've arrived, well you wonder 
     Dm                                 Dm 
What is it that you've done to make the grade? 
    Am                Dm 
And should you do the same? 
                   Am 
(Is that too easy?) 
        Dm 
Are you only trying to please them? 
          Dm 
Will they see then 
       Am             G 
You're desperate to deliver 
  G                 G 
Anything that could give you 
              Bb 
A sense of reassurance 
                     Dm7 
When you look in the mirror 

( Am  C  Dm  Dm7 ) 
( Am  C  Dm ) 


G                      G 
   Such highs and lows 
                   Dm 
You put on quite a show 

( Dm  Am  Dm  Dm  Am ) 

          G 
All these highs and lows 
G 
   And you're never really sure 
G              Bb 
What you do it for 
                         G 
Well do you even want to know? 
                   Dm 
You put on quite a show 

( Dm  Am7  Dm ) 
( Dm  Am7  Dm ) 
( Dm  Am7  Dm ) 

Am7        Dm 
   Mother 
Am7                 Dm 
   Are you watching? 
Am7 
   Are you watching? 
G 
Mother, are you watching? 
Mother 
Mother 


         Dm                    Am 
You're a fraud and you know it 
    Dm                               Dm 
And every night and day you take the stage 
       Am          Dm 
And it always entertains 
                       Am 
You're giving pleasure 
           Dm 
And that's admirable you tell yourself 
                    Am                      G 
And so you'd gladly sell yourself to others 


G 
Mother, are you watching? 
G 
Mother, are you watching? 
G 
   Mother, are you watching? 
G 
Mother, are you watching? 
           Dm/C 
Are you watching? 

( Am  C  Dm  Dm7 ) 
( Am  C  Dm ) 


G                    G 
   Such highs and lows 
                   Dm 
You put on quite a show 

 Dm  Am  Dm 

Dm   Am7       G                G 
     All these highs and lows 
                        G 
And you're never really sure 
G              Bb 
What you do it for 
                         G 
Well do you even want to know? 
                   Dm 
You put on quite a show 
  

Final: Dm  Am  Dm  Dm  Am
