F 
Before you drop the final curtain 
G                           C 
Before the big tower crashes down 
           C7                 F 
Before you pack away my trunk case 
G                       C  
I'd like to take a final bounce 
         C7                 F 
One last chance to hear the laughter 
G                              C     C/B  Am 
And see your face there in the crowd 
Am                     F 
One last moment in the spotlight 
G                          C  
One last chance to be your clown 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
                                F 
I guess you're tired of walking tightropes 
G                          C 
Hope setting up and tearing down 
           C7               Dm  
You want a place to call forever 
G                           Am     Am/G   F 
And rest your feet on solid ground 
                                    F       Fm 
Somewhere you've lost that sense of wonder 
                               C     C/B  Am 
But that's still the place I'm bound 
Am                       F 
I'm a storm in search of thunder 
G                         C 
I'm just a circus leaving town 
 
 
Once we could fill the room with laughter 
And fill each other's hearts with joy 
Through each trial and disaster 
Still we cling to our choice 
To take a path of one for giving 
A road that waits for no one 
You know we chose to keep on living 
Lord, tell me where did we go wrong 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
I guess you're tired of walking tightropes 
Hope setting up and tearing down 
You want a place to call forever 
And rest your feet on solid ground 
Don't try to break this spell I?m under 
Oh stop these wheels from spinning around 
I'm a storm in search of thunder 
Yes, I'm just a circus leaving town

Some day you'll wake up a wonder 
And your heart will start to pound 
And you'll long for the fonder 
And the kiss is of the clown
