Sideshow Blues

A
My landlady treats me like I don't 
pay my rent
A
Gave my car to my mechanic, I ain't 
seen it since
A
My phone is always ringing, when I 
want to be alone
A
They try and sell me everything from
 Heaven to cologne
     D                          
Everybody's got an offer I can't 
   A
refuse
         E                       
It's a circus out here mama, Your 
                           A
baby's got the sideshow blues


A
It's all a big commercial, It's a 
video of a man
A
It's a plot to put an end to my 
attention span
A
They make up all these issues, I 
never understood
A
If I thought I could change things 
I'd run out to Hollywood
         D                         
But it's hard to kick the door down
                            A
 when you ain't wearing any shoes
          E                      
It's a circus out here mama, Your 
                            A
baby's got the sideshow blues

I've got them sideshow blues
          D
I want to tame the lions
         A
These center ring rich kids ain't 
even trying
         D
From college to the big top they 
take the best positions
          E
While I'm out in this tent with 
these freaks and musicians
          E
While I'm out in this tent with 
these freaks and musicians
                             A
I'm moaning them sideshow blues

 (solo)

A
I try to tell my girlfriend she's 
the only one that I've got
A
This chick I hardly knows keeps on 
telling her she's not
A
She got a loaded pistol, she waves 
it all the time
A
Says some times you gotta kill a boy
 to keep his ass in line
            D                      
Well that's the way she sees it, 
                         A
she says she saw it on the news
          E                      
It's a circus out here mama, Your 
                            A

A
See people play satanic records, and
 you don't know when they'll freak
A
From quiet kid to maniac to movie of
 the week
A
We're killing over cocaine, dying 
over sex
A
We're bowing down and praying to 
who'll ever cuts the check
       D                        
When I go to church on Sunday, I 
                         A
can't help sleep in the pews (that's
 what I do)
