Verse:
G D
As I try to balance in the center

Of a ball as round and shiny as the moon

It's my job to trip and fall for laughter
C D G
But I always get back up and smile like a buffoon
Pre-Chorus:
C D G Em
But then I saw you crying there out in the audience
C B7 Em E7
Put on a happy face, you look much better when you smile

Your mom and your dad don't seem to notice

The tears streaming down your cheek but I did
Am Bm C D
Don't worry, cause I will wipe them away
Chorus:
G D C B7 Em
It's okay, It's alright! It doesn't hurt, I do it all the time

You should laugh, I want you to. This is what I do
G D C B7 Em
It's alright, it's okay. I balance on a ball and fall away

In this tiny circus show, I'm the clumsy pierrot
Verse:
G D
You continued weeping and remarked:

I said, but you only started crying once again

"Show me what you're hiding there, beneath the painted mask.

The face that you never show the audience, that's all I ask

The pain that you feel when you are beaten

And tears that you cry when no one's looking

Don't be ashamed, because we all feel the same

You won't face it all alone, I will cry with you
G D C B7 Em
It's okay, it's alright. You helped me find what disappeared inside
D C D
It's the face I lost to time, the one that's truly mine
G D C B7 Em D C
"It's alright, it's okay" It's like a spell, the lie can finally fade
D Em A C D C
And the lying pierrot that I was has gone away
