[Intro]
C F Em G  x2

[Verse 1]
  C        F         Em
I put on a fake smile
    G                 C  F  Em  G
And start the evening show
    C         F       Em
The public is laughing
  G                 C  F  Em   G
I guess by now they know
   C               F         Em
So climb from your high horse
    G                    C  F  
And pull this freak show down
Em   G


[Chorus]
C          F       Em
Dear Madam Barnum
G          C       F  Em  Cadd9
I resign as clown

Fm                           Ab   
You said I was the master of all I 
 C
surveyed
Fdim
But now I'm sweeping up
D                G
The last in line in your circus 
parade

[Verse 2]
C            F       Em
Children are clapping
   G             C    F Em G
As I fall to the floor
   C                F     Em
My heart's torn and broken
    G                    C   F Em G
And they just scream for more

[Chorus]
   C           F        Em
If I'm not the sole fool
    G                  C   F Em G
Who pulls his trousers down
     C          F     Em
Then dear Madam Barnum
G           C    F Em  G  Cadd9
I resign as clown

[Bridge]
Am
 You tread the high wire
Bbmaj7
Between truth and lies
Dm
 Your safety net just walked out
Em              G
Much to your surprise

[Verse 3]
C             F             Em
Strike up the band love
    G            C     F    Em G
And let the show begin
    C           F           Em
For this is the last time
    G             C    F    Em G
I'm painting on a grin

[Chorus]
C              F            Em
If I'm not the sole fool
    G                  C    F  Em G
Who pulls his trousers down
      C           F         Em
Then dear Madam Barnum
G            C          F   Em
I resign as clown
G            C          F   Em
I resign as clown
G            C   F      Em G Cadd9
I resign as clown
