G D A (2x)
[Verse]
A
Everybody get your ticket, it?s almost time
D
To set up this freak show and watch me unwind
G D A
For the next ninety minutes we?ll be havin? the time of our lives
A
I might sing something pretty if I?m feeling loved
D
I might kick out the footlights if I drink too much
G D A
I?ll give it all that I have hoping this time it might be enough
Em A D A G D
?Til they pack up my guitars and unplug my star
[Chorus]
Em G A
Oh, a ringmaster?s night gets lonely
G D A
After the big top comes down
G D A
Yeah, ?cause I go from being somebody
Bm D
To just another clown
A
When the circus leaves town
[Verse]
A
Well it?s cold, dark and empty back in my cage
D
And it?s all wasted hours ?til I?m back on stage
G D A
And it?s scary sometimes what I will do to pass them away
Em A D A G D
You learn live for the lights when they?re keeping you alive
[Chorus]
Em G A
Oh, a ringmaster?s night gets lonely
G D A
After the big top comes down
G D A
Yeah, ?cause I go from being somebody
Bm D
To just another clown
Em G A G D A
When the circus leaves town
[Chorus]
Em G A
Oh, a ringmaster?s night gets lonely
G D A
After the big top comes down
G D A
Yeah, and I go from being somebody
Bm A D
To just another clown
A
When the circus leaves town
[Outro]
G D A G D A
When the circus leaves town
G D A G D A
I?m leaving this town
G D A (repeat and fade)
