VERSE:
 D        D        D  D
Hello, I am the juggler in this circus
   D        D       G     G
I’m here for your enjoyment at my own expense
  Bm          A
My clothes are brightly colored
      D      G G
There’s a smile upon my face
     Bm     A        D
But it’s only an illusion for the stage


VERSE:
  D         D        D   D
In my act, I will be juggling little children
  D       D       G G
A woman, and my future, and my past
     Bm         A
But the show it won’t end there
           D      G G
‘Cause while they’re all up in midair
Bm        A       G  G
You will see me reach into my chest
   Bm        A     G        D
And throw my own up there with all the rest of those


CHORUS:
 D   A   Bm       A
Glass hearts, delicate and fragile
 D   A     Bm        A
Glass hearts, and though I make mistakes
    D   A     Bm      A
With glass hearts, the show is never over
     D  F#m  G  G  D D
`Til the last heart breaks


VERSE:
   D        D     D   D
Now juggling’s a precarious profession
   D       D      G  G
And you can see why every day I wish
   Bm        A    D      G  G
That I was breathing fire or walking on a wire
       Bm       A      G G
You see, then I would be the only one at risk
Bm     A      G   G
 Careful there I almost missed

VERSE:
     D       D         D   D
Well, I hope you all enjoyed this fine performance
  D        D      G  G
I trust you were astounded and amazed
    Bm      A    D     G   G
But my talent isn’t rare or far beyond compare
 Bm    A     G      G
Some of us we juggle on the stage
Bm      A      G      G
But all of us we struggle just the same


CHORUS:
    D   A   Bm       A
With glass hearts, delicate and fragile
 D   A     Bm        A
Glass hearts, and though we make mistakes
    D   A     Bm      A
With glass hearts, the show is never over
     D  F#m  G
`Til the last heart breaks
       Bm  A     G G  G D D D D
Or till the last glass heart’s safe.
