Pierrot

G          D            C       
It's okay, It's alright To play 
              B7            Em
the fool has always been my plight
         D            C         
In this tiny circus show, I'm the 
   D
nameless pierrot

[Verse]
G                          D
As I try to balance in the center
      C                            
Of a ball as round and shiny as the
  D
 moon
G                              
It's my job to trip and fall for 
   D
laughter
             C                D   
But I always get back up and smile
         G
 like a buffoon

[Pre-Chorus]
     C              D             
But then I saw you crying there 
   G          Em
out in the audience
          C               B7      
Put on a happy face, you look much
         Em             E7
 better when you smile
                   C
Your mom and your dad don't seem to 
notice
G
The tears streaming down your cheek 
but I did
       Am          Bm             
Don't worry, cause I will wipe 
   C    D
them away

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
G                D             C
It's okay, It's alright! It 
            B7             Em
doesn't hurt, I do it all the time
             D               C 
You should laugh, I want you to. 
           D
This is what I do
G               D           C   
It's alright, it's okay. I 
         B7           Em
balance on a ball and fall away
         D           C          
In this tiny circus show, I'm the 
   D        G
clumsy pierrot

[Verse]
G                          D
You continued weeping and remarked:
                  C                
"I know you're lying and it really 
         D
makes me sad"
G                            
"I promise that I never told a 
   D
single lie"
                 Am           D   
I said, but you only started 
        G
crying once again

[Instrumental]
C  D  G     C   D  G     C D

[Verse]
C                    D           
"Show me what you're hiding 
     G                Em
there, beneath the painted mask.
                   C             
The face that you never show the 
B7               Em         E7
audience, that's all I ask
                   C
The pain that you feel when you are 
beaten
                    G
And tears that you cry when no one's
 looking
      Am          Bm           
Don't be ashamed, because we all 
           C     D
feel the same

[Chorus]
G          D                
It's okay, it's alright. Don't 
   C                 B7       
worry, you don't have to fake a 
      Em
smile
        D              C          
I just want you to be true. Just 
   D
be true to you
G              D              C 
It's alright, it's okay. It 
            B7               Em
doesn't matter what they have to say
           D           C          
You won't face it all alone, I 
            D
will cry with you
G          D                  C 
It's okay, it's alright. You 
                  B7           
helped me find what disappeared 
Em
inside
          D              C        
It's the face I lost to time, the 
            D
one that's truly mine
G               D               
"It's alright, it's okay" It's 
C      B7        Em       D     
like a spell, the lie can finally 
  C
fade
         D        Em   A     C  
And the lying pierrot that I was
      D      C
 has gone away
