Am7 Fadd9 C C
After a couple of bottles of red wine, the truth finally came out
Am7 Fadd9 C C
The words "I don't love you anymore" spilled from his mouth
Am7 Fadd9
So I looked to the waiter for some consolation
C C
But he just poured the coffee, and without hesitation
Am7 Fadd9 C C
He said, "Ma'am, is that all you'll be needing tonight?"
[Chorus 1]
Fadd9 Fadd9 C C
And ohhhhh, the piano kept playing
Fadd9 Fadd9 C C
And nobody noticed the heart in the corner booth breaking
Fadd9 Fadd9
Cell phones kept ringin', glasses were clinkin'
C C
Everyone laughin' and dancin' and singin'
Dm Fadd9 C C
So I painted a smile on my face to cover the frown
Dm Fadd9 C C
In that room full of jokers and jesters, I was the clown
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Am7 Fadd9 C C
Well, you can't walk the high wire of love and be afraid to fall
Am7 Fadd9 C C
And you can't put all of your faith in a gypsy's crystal ball
Am7 Fadd9
We just do what we do, take the chances we take
C C
Show me a life without a mistake
Am7 Fadd9 C C
Oh, we all learn our lessons and we all fall down
[Chorus 2]
Fadd9 Fadd9 C C
And ohhhhh, the piano keeps playing
Fadd9 Fadd9 C C
And nobody notices the heart in the corner booth breaking
Fadd9 Fadd9
Cell phones keep ringin', glasses keep clinkin'
C C
Everyone laughin' and dancin' and singin'
Dm Fadd9 C C
So if you paint a big smile on your face to cover the frown
Dm Fadd9 C C
In that room full of jokers and jesters, sometimes you're the clown
[Interlude]
|Am7 |Fadd9 |C |C | x2
[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
[Intstrumental]

[Outro]
|Am7 |Fadd9 |C | |
Am7 Fadd9 C C
And ohhhh, the piano kept playing
