(Intro)

C-F-Em-G- 2 Times

(Verse 1)

C majorC    FF E minorEm
I put on a fake smile
G+G    C majorC FF E minorEm G+G
And start the evening show
C majorC FF    E minorEm
The public is laughing
G+G    C majorC FF E minorEm  G+G
I guess by now they know
C majorC    FF E minorEm
So climb from your high horse
G+G    C majorC FF E minorEm  G+G
And pull this freak show down

(Chorus)

C majorC FF E minorEm
Dear Madam Barnum
G+G C-F-Em-Cadd2
I resign as clown

(Break 1)

F minorFm        G#G#  C majorC
You said I was the master of all I surveyed
FdimFdim
But now I'm sweeping up
D MajorD        G+G
The last in line in your circus parade

(Verse 2)

C majorC  FF   E minorEm
Children are clapping
G+G         C majorC    FF  E minorEm   G+G
As I fall to the floor
C majorC     FF    E minorEm
My heart's torn and broken
G+G        C majorC    FF   E minorEm   G+G
And they just scream for more
(Chorus)
C majorC        FF    E minorEm
If I'm not the sole fool
G+G        C majorC    FF   E minorEm   G+G
Who pulls his trousers down
C majorC        FF
Then dear Madam Barnum
E minorEm        G+G    C-F-Em-G - Cadd2Cadd2
I resign as clown

(Bridge)

A minorAm
You tread the high wire
Bbma7
Between truth and lies
DmDm
Your safety net just walked out
E minorEm         G+G
Much to your surprise

(Verse 3)

C majorC FF
Strike up the band love
E minorEm         G+G
And let the show begin
C majorC          FF
For this is the last time
E minorEm         G+G
I'm painting on a grin

(Chorus)

C majorC        FF      E minorEm
If I'm not the sole fool
   G+G         C majorC   FF   E minorEm  G+G
Who pulls his trousers down
   C majorC      FF      E minorEm
Then dear Madam Barnum
G+G      C majorC         FF   E minorEm
I resign as clown
G+G      C majorC         FF   E minorEm
I resign as clown
G+G
I resign as clown

C-F-Em-G-Cadd2
