Intro:
|Am7Am7 |Fadd9Fadd9 |C majorC |C majorC | x2


Verse 1:

    Am7Am7           Fadd9Fadd9           C majorC     C majorC
After a couple of bottles of red wine, the truth finally came out

      Am7Am7          Fadd9Fadd9      C majorC     C majorC
The words "I don't love you anymore" spilled from his mouth

   Am7Am7           Fadd9Fadd9
So I looked to the waiter for some consolation

    C majorC                C majorC
But he just poured the coffee, and without hesitation

    Am7Am7        Fadd9Fadd9         C majorC     C majorC
He said, "Ma'am, is that all you'll be needing tonight?"

Chorus 1:

  Fadd9Fadd9 Fadd9Fadd9         C majorC     C majorC
And ohhhhh,   the piano kept playing

  Fadd9Fadd9       Fadd9Fadd9           C majorC     C majorC
And nobody noticed the heart in the corner booth breaking

Fadd9Fadd9           Fadd9Fadd9
Cell phones kept ringin', glasses were clinkin'

C majorC           C majorC
Everyone laughin' and dancin' and singin'

   DmDm          Fadd9Fadd9    C majorC      C majorC
So I painted a smile on my face to cover the frown

    DmDm           Fadd9Fadd9     C majorC     C majorC
In that room full of jokers and jesters, I was the clown


Interlude:

Verse 2:

     Am7Am7             Fadd9Fadd9      C majorC     C majorC
Well, you can't walk the high wire of love and be afraid to fall

    Am7Am7          Fadd9Fadd9         C majorC     C majorC
And you can't put all of your faith in a gypsy's crystal ball

    Am7Am7           Fadd9Fadd9
We just do what we do, take the chances we take

C majorC         C majorC
Show me a life without a mistake

Am7Am7         Fadd9Fadd9        C majorC     C majorC
Oh, we all learn our lessons and we all fall down

Chorus 2:

  Fadd9Fadd9 Fadd9Fadd9         C majorC     C majorC
And ohhhhh,   the piano keeps playing

  Fadd9Fadd9       Fadd9Fadd9           C majorC     C majorC
And nobody notices the heart in the corner booth breaking

Fadd9Fadd9           Fadd9Fadd9
Cell phones keep ringin', glasses keep clinkin'

C majorC           C majorC
Everyone laughin' and dancin' and singin'

    DmDm             Fadd9Fadd9      C majorC     C majorC
So if you paint a big smile on your face to cover the frown

    DmDm           Fadd9Fadd9       C majorC        C majorC
In that room full of jokers and jesters, sometimes you're the clown


Interlude:
|Am7Am7 |Fadd9Fadd9 |C majorC |C majorC | x2


Bridge:

     DmDm       Fadd9Fadd9
When the circus is over

           C majorC     C majorC
And the tents are pulled down

  DmDm             Fadd9Fadd9
The truth is, the show must go on

For the clown
