The Show (Encore Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Niall Horan]
Life is like a board game some of the time
Mistakes and heartbreaks are no crime
But there's a light creepin' through under broken skies
Got plans? Better hurry, 'cause time flies

[Pre-Chorus: Niall Horan]
Hold tight, get ready for the ride

[Chorus: Niall Horan]
If everythin' was easy, nothin' ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it, though? Mm

[Verse 2: John Legend]
Lifе is like a dance floor some of thе time
(Life is like a dance floor some of the time, oh)
Dancin' with the stars, oh, every night, yeah
Gravity comes and wraps her arms around you again
It's all fun and games until the party ends, oh

[Pre-Chorus: John Legend]
Hold tight, get ready for the ride
[Chorus: John Legend]
If everythin' was easy, nothin' ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it, though?

[Bridge: Niall Horan & John Legend, Niall Horan]
Lookin' at the sun our whole lives
We're blinded by the (Lights)
Lookin' at the sun our whole lives
We're blinded by the lights, ooh

[Pre-Chorus: Niall Horan & John Legend]
We're still not ready for the ride

[Chorus: Niall Horan, John Legend, Niall Horan & John Legend]
If everythin' was easy, nothin' ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?

Oh, if everythin' was easy, nothin' ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know? (Oh)
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?

How good we have it, though?
[Outro: Niall Horan & John Legend]
How good we have it, no?
So, hold tight, get ready for the ride

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
