(Intro)

C-F-Em-G- 2 Times

(Verse 1)

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

(Chorus)

C  F Em
Dear Madam Barnum
G  C-F-Em-Cadd2
I resign as clown

(Break 1)

Fm               G#    C
You said I was the master of all I surveyed
Fdim
But now I'm sweeping up
D                G
The last in line in your circus parade

(Verse 2)

C   F     Em
Children are clapping
G                  C       F   Em      G
As I fall to the floor
C         F       Em
My heart's torn and broken
G                C       F     Em      G
And they just scream for more
(Chorus)
C                F       Em
If I'm not the sole fool
G                C       F     Em     G
Who pulls his trousers down
C                F
Then dear Madam Barnum
Em               G       C-F-Em-G - Cadd2
I resign as clown

(Bridge)

Am
You tread the high wire
Bbma7
Between truth and lies
Dm
Your safety net just walked out
Em                  G
Much to your surprise

(Verse 3)

C F
Strike up the band love
Em                  G
And let the show begin
C                   F
For this is the last time
Em                  G
I'm painting on a grin

(Chorus)

C               F           Em
If I'm not the sole fool
     G                  C      F     Em    G
Who pulls his trousers down
      C           F           Em
Then dear Madam Barnum
G            C                 F     Em
I resign as clown
G            C                 F     Em
I resign as clown
G
I resign as clown

C-F-Em-G-Cadd2
