The Clown

        Am7                      
After a couple of bottles of red 
Fadd9                     C      
wine, the truth finally came out
   C

           Am7                   
The words "I don't love you 
Fadd9            C         C
anymore" spilled from his mouth
     Am7                      
So I looked to the waiter for some 
Fadd9
consolation
       C                           
But he just poured the coffee, and 
    C
without hesitation
        Am7               Fadd9   
He said, "Ma'am, is that all 
               C         C
you'll be needing tonight?"


[Chorus 1]
    Fadd9  Fadd9              
And ohhhhh,      the piano kept 
   C         C
playing
    Fadd9              Fadd9      
And nobody noticed the heart in 
               C         C
the corner booth breaking
Fadd9                     Fadd9
Cell phones kept ringin', glasses 
were clinkin'
C                     C
Everyone laughin' and dancin' and 
singin'
     Dm                    Fadd9  
So I painted a smile on my face to
     C           C
 cover the frown
        Dm                      
In that room full of jokers and 
Fadd9          C         C
jesters, I was the clown

[Verse 2]
          Am7                      
Well, you can't walk the high wire 
   Fadd9           C          C
of love and be afraid to fall
        Am7                    
And you can't put all of your 
Fadd9                  C          C
faith in a gypsy's crystal ball
        Am7                     
We just do what we do, take the 
Fadd9
chances we take
C                  C
Show me a life without a mistake
Am7                  Fadd9       
Oh, we all learn our lessons and 
         C         C
we all fall down


[Chorus 2]
    Fadd9  Fadd9               
And ohhhhh,      the piano keeps 
   C         C
playing
    Fadd9              Fadd9      
And nobody notices the heart in 
               C         C
the corner booth breaking
Fadd9                     Fadd9
Cell phones keep ringin', glasses 
keep clinkin'
C                     C
Everyone laughin' and dancin' and 
singin'
        Dm                         
So if you paint a big smile on your
 Fadd9           C         C
 face to cover the frown
        Dm                      
In that room full of jokers and 
Fadd9              C             
jesters, sometimes you're the 
   C
clown

[Bridge]
         Dm             Fadd9
When the circus is over
                     C         C
And the tents are pulled down
    Dm                         Fadd9
The truth is, the show must go on

For the clown
