Lonely Clown

C Em Eb Bb

[Verse 1]

C      Em         Eb            
Frozen fingertips all stiff and 
Bb
tired
C      Em               Eb      
Trucks scream by and my eyes 
    Bb
stay wired
C               Em             
Shaking vibrations from the 
Eb         Bb
howling wind
C                 Em    
Whispering everything will 
     Eb            Bb
eventually cave in


[Chorus]
Am            C
Self pity for being in a pile
Am               C
The lonely clown in exile
Em            Am
Got my doctor on speed dial
Em                    Am
He's put me under the suicidal file
F                         G
There's a better way than being this
 fragile
Em                 Am
And I know I'll be waiting for 
awhile

F                G
I'm sure I'll be watching this hour 
glass
F                 G
Slowing down over every bump in my 
path


C  Em Eb Bb

[Verse 2]
C               Em         Eb   
I think I might just stay 
       Bb
outside tonight
C          Em              Eb   
Sit on the couch stare out til I
         Bb
 lose my sight
C               Em           Eb 
Wander bout the miner felons 
                   Bb
locked up in juvenile camps
C             Em           Eb   
Sedated til they become more of 
         Bb
a sensible man
C            Em          Eb      
Passing swiftly with a frequent 
  Bb
dash
C             Em       Eb       
You can imagine the fast crash
     Bb

C       Em         Eb            Bb
Not a second more to elaborate
C      Em           Eb            Bb
They're all bound to be jailbait


[Chorus]
Am            C
Self pity for being in a pile
Am            C
The lonely clown in exile
Em            Am
Got my doctor on speed dial
Em            Am
He's put me under the suicidal file
F                         G
There's a better way than being this
 fragile
Em                 Am
And I know I'll be waiting for 
awhile
F                G
I'm sure I'll be watching this hour 
glass
F                 G
Slowing down over every bump in my 
path


C  Em Eb Bb [for a hot minute]

[Bridge]

    C Em    Eb         Bb       
Yes I am the loneliest lonely 
C   Em      Eb       Bb
clown, I'm renown for being down
C     Em         Eb    Bb      
  Somehow I'm a magnet for this
       C   Em Eb Bb
