Oh it makes one stop and think
The poor people of Paris
Sister Madam Pierre
Had the craziest love affair
And the day after they parted there
He cries bitterly
Pierre was there to bid her farewell
But he brought his new girl Claire
The poor people of Paris
So don’t go to Paris France
Not unless you like to dance
Not unless you want romance
Like those poor inhabitants of Paris
(spoken) In the meantime, I got to hurry back there
I think I forgot something….

4 -4 5 5 5 5 5 -4
See him wasted on the sidewalk
4 5 6 6 6 -6 6
in his jacket and his jeans,
-5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 6
Wearin’ yesterday’s misfortunes like a smile
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 6 6 5 4
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
4 4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 -3 4 -4
Which he spent like they was goin’ out of style
4 -4 5 5 5 5 5 -4
And he keeps right on a’changin’
4 5 6 6 6 -6 6
for the better or the worse,
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 6 -5 5
Searchin’ for a shrine he’s never found
-6 -7 7 -7 -6 -7 7 -6
Never knowin’ if believin’
5 -5 6 -5 5 -5 6
is a blessin’ or a curse,
4 -4 5 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4
Or if the goin’ up was worth the comin’ down
7 7 7 -6 5 5 -4 4
He’s a poet, he’s a picker
7 7 7 6 5 5 -4 4
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher,
-4 5 -5 -4 4 -4 5
and a problem when he’s stoned
7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6
He’s a walkin’ contradiction,
-6 -6 6 6 6 6 -5 5
partly truth and partly fiction,
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction
-4 5 -5 -4 5 -4 4
on his lonely way back home.
4 -4 5 5 5 5 5 -4
He has tasted good and evil
4 5 6 6 6 -6 6
in your bedrooms and your bars,
-5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 6
And he’s traded in tomorrow for today
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5
Runnin’ from his devils, Lord,
-5 6 6 6 5 4
and reachin’ for the stars,
4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 -3 4 -4
And losin’ all he’s loved along the way
4 4 -4 5 5 5 5 5 -4
But if this world keeps right on turnin’
4 5 6 6 6 -6 6
for the better or the worse,
5 -5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 6 -5 5
And all he ever gets is older and around
-6 -7 7 -7 -6 -7 7 -6
From the rockin’ of the cradle
5 -5 6 -5 5 -5 6
to the rollin’ of the hearse,
5 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4
The goin’ up was worth the comin’ down
7 7 7 -6 5 5 -4 4
He’s a poet, he’s a picker
7 7 7 6 5 5 -4 4
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher,
-4 5 -5 -4 4 -4 5
and a problem when he’s stoned
7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6
He’s a walkin’ contradiction,
-6 -6 6 6 6 6 -5 5
partly truth and partly fiction,
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction
-4 5 -5 -4 5 -4 4
on his lonely way back home.

-2 -1* -1 -2 -1* -3 -2 -3*
Far a-way be-yond the glam-our
-3* 4 -5 -2 3 -3 -3*
of the cit-y and it’s strife
-3* -3 3 -2* 3 -3* -2 -2 3 -3* 4
There’s a qui-et lit-tle home-stead by the sea,
-2 -1* -1 -2 -1* 3 -2 -3*
Where a ten-der, lov-ing las-sie
-3* 4 -5 -2 2 -2 3
used to live a hap-py life
3 3 -2 3 -3 -3* 4 -5 4 -2 -3*
As con-tent-ed in her home as she could be;
-3* 4 -5 4 -3* -3 -3
Not a shad-ow ev-er seemed
3 -2* 3 -5 4 -3* -3 3
to cloud the sun-shine of her youth
-2* 3 4 4 -3* -3 -3 3 -3 3 -2
And they tho’t no sor-row could her life be-fall,
-2 -1* -1 -2 -1* 3 -2 -3*
But she left them all one eve-ning
-3* 4 -5 -5 -5* -5 3
and their sad hearts knew the truth
3 3 -3 -3 3* -3 -5* -5 -5 4 -3*
When her fa-ther turned her pic-ture to the wall.
CHORUS
-3* 4 -5 -5 -3* 3 3 -2
There’s a name that’s nev-er spo-ken
-5 -5 -5* -5* -3* 3 3 -2
And a moth-er’s heart half bro-ken
-2 -1* -1 -1* -2 3 -2 -3*
There is just an-oth-er miss-ing
-3* 4 -5 4 4 3 4
from the old home, that is all.
-3* 4 -5 -5 -3* 3 3 -2
There is still a mem-‘ry liv-ing
-3* -5 -6 -5 -5* -5 4 3
There’s a fa-ther, un-for-giv-ing,
3 3 -3 -3 3* -3 -5* -5 -5 4 -3*
And a pic-ture that is turned to-ward the wall.
They have laid a-way each tok-en
of the one who ne’er re-turns,
Ev-‘ry tok-en, ev-‘ry rib-bon that she wore,
Though it seems so long a-go now,
yet the lamp of hope still burns
And her moth-er prays to see her child once more.
Though no tid-ings ev-er reach them
what her life or lot may be,
Though they some-times think
she’s gone be-yond re-call,
There’s a ten-der re-col-lec-tion
of a face they nev-er see,
In the pic-ture that is turned toward the wall.

In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
5 -6 5 6 -5 -5 -4 6 -4 5
that voice which calls to me, and speaks my name
5 -6 5 8 -8 -8 -8 9 -8 -8
and do I dream again? For now I find
8 -10 9 -9 8 -8 7-7 -6 6 -5 -5 5 5
the phantom of the opera is there, inside my mind
Marco
5 -6 5 6 -5 -5 -4 6 -4 5
Sing once again with me, our strange duet
5 -6 5 6 -5 -5 -4 6 -4 5
my power over you grows stronger yet
5 -6 5 8 -8 -8 -8 9 -8 -8
and though you turn from me, to glance behind
8 -10 9 -9 8 -8 7-7 -6 6 -5 -5 5 5
the phantom of the opera is there, inside your mind
Tarja
5 -6 5 6 -5 -5
those who have seen your face
-4 6 -4 5
draw back in fear
5 -6 5 6 -5 -5
i am the mask you wear
Marco
-4 6 -4 5
it’s me they hear
juntos
5 -6 5 8 -8 -8 -8 9 -8 -8
your spirit and my voice, in one combined
my spirit and your voice, in one combined
8 -10 9 -9 8 -8 7-7 -6 6 -5 -5 5 5
the phantom of the opera is there, inside your mind
the phantom of the opera is there, inside my mind
Marco
5 6 5 6 -5 -5
in all your fantasies
-4 6 -4 5
you always knew
5 -6 5 6 -5 -5
that man and mystery
Tarja
-4 6 -4 5
were both in you
together
5 -6 5 8 -8 -8 -8 9 -8 -8
and in his labyrinth,where night is light
8 -10 9 -9 8 -8 7-7 -6 6 -5 -5 5 5
the phantom of the opera is there/here, inside your/my mind

The per-fect stal-lion you and I must find.

One to rea-lly make her heart so-ar.

But,
6 6 -6 -7
this one’s too young.

This one’s too old.
6 6 -6 -7 -8 7 -7 -7 6
He clear-ly has a ter-ri-ble cold.
6 6 -6 -7 6
This guy’s too sil-ly.
6 -6 6 -6 6
He’s way too up-tight.
-4 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
Well no-things wrong with this one.
-6 -6 -7 7
He seems al-right.
6 -6 -7 6
How about this one.
-8 7 -7 -6 6
He’s much too fla-shy.
6 -6 -7
He might do.
-8 -8 7 -7 -6 6
If he weren’t so spla-shy.
-6 6
Too short,
-7 -6
too tall,

too clean,

too smel-ly.

He’s strange-ly obe-ssed with tubs of jel-ly.

I real-ly feel that at this rate,

we’ll ne-ver find the per-fect date.

Don’t wan-na quit and give up hope.
