Intro: C Verse 1: C G I have this dream, I'm alone on a stage Am C Tied to a string, I'm just part of your play F G And you won't even look at me C G I Do the impossible to make it worthwhile Am C You chalk it up to a trick of the light F G And you won't even look at me C F G You see it all, but you don't believe
Chorus: C G 'Cause it's no fun when they're all laughin' Am C A packed house, you're the one skeptic F Who can't see what everyone sees G It's a standin' ovation and you're in your seat C G This is my show, but it's your circus Am C I'm dressed up and it's all worthless F 'Cause you don't know how to believe G All that you see C Is the smoke and the mirrors in me Verse 2: C G Trying to love you just makes me feel small Am C I'm up on a tightrope, you don't care at all Am C Are you having a ball holdin' me in your palm? F G Would it kill you to just play along? Chorus: C G 'Cause it's no fun when they're all laughin' Am C A packed house, you're the one skeptic F Who can't see what everyone sees G It's a standin' ovation and you're in your seat C G This is my show, but it's your circus Am C I'm dressed up and it's all worthless F 'Cause you don't know how to believe G All that you see C Is the smoke and the mirrors in me Post-Chorus: G C F G The smoke in the mirrors in me Outro: C G This is my show, but it's your circus Am C I'm dressed up and it's all worthless F 'Cause, oh G All that you see C Is the smoke and the mirrors in me
