The Clown

Am Em

[Verse 1]
      Am                           
Up on stage he stands bathed in the
 Em         Em
 spotlight.
          Am                 
He's been there so many times 
 Em               Em
before.
    Am                      Em    
His heart, it pounds like a 
             Em
drumbeat
       F                     Em
but he always comes back for more.

[Verse 2]
        Am                     
And the crowd, they all come to 
 Em             Em
chuckle.
              Am               Em 
He makes them laugh until they 
             Em
cry.
              Am               
But for every action there's an 
                    Em         Em
equal and opposite reaction
    F                        Em
and tonight somebody's gonna die.

              Am                   
'Cause he's a clown; he's crying on
     Em
 the inside.
       Am                    
He's a clown; he's lonely and 
 Em
afraid.
       Am                        
He's a clown; he's crying on the 
Em
inside.
       F                          
He's a clown with one foot in the 
Em
grave.

Am Em

[Verse 3]
         Am                      
They all stood and cheered as he 
Em            Em
ended.
         Am                    
His fake smile masking his fake 
 Em             Em
face.
           Am                     
He takes a bow and he makes a big 
Em           Em
exit
   F                          Em
unaware they'll never see him again.

[Verse 4]
        Am                  
Back at home the bullets sit 
 Em                Em
waiting;
          Am                       
the empty chamber, it calls out his
 Em         Em
 name.
         Am                   
Pull the trigger.  A flash and 
 Em              Em
explosion,
        F                   Em
and the crowd is ending his pain.

[Chorus 2]
       Am                        
He's a clown, he's crying on the 
Em
inside.
       Am                    
He's a clown, he's lonely and 
 Em
afraid.
       Am                        
He's a clown, he's crying on the 
Em
inside.
       F                           
He's a clown, he's a clown, he's a 
Em
clown.
