D Em7 G D
[Verse 1]
D Em7
She works a job, I work another
F#m7 G
Too rich to be broke, too broke to be covered
D
In case of an emergency
G D/F# Em7 A
Call God,tell him we're fine
D Em7
Our first child just turned four
F#m7 G
And I'm proud to say here comes one more
D
Wonder what we're gonna get
G D/F# Em7 A
Done with all of this free time
[Chorus]
Em7
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
D
But the future ain't no joke
A
The days just don't slow down
G D
The punch line's funny till you choke
Em7
And I keep my act sincere
D
Happy faces in the crowd
A
Laughing through the tears
G Bm A
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
[Intro]
D Em7 G D
[Verse 2]
D Em7
Sun every morning, a pie to the face
F#m7 G
But this rat in the wheel is still in the race, hey
D
There's no sweat keeping’ the
G D/F# Em7 A
pace when you're barely getting by
D Em7
I tend to bite off more than I can chew
F#m7 G
Just trying to fill these oversized shoes
D
You can't lose those red nose
G D/F# Em7 A
blues, Lord, if you don't try
[Chorus]
Em7
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
D
But the future ain't no joke
A
The days just don't slow down
G D
The punch line's funny till you choke
Em7
And I keep my act sincere
D
Happy faces in the crowd
A
Laughing through the tears
G Bm (Hold)
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
[Bridge]
F#m
Straight outta the cannon into the dirt
G D/F#
Oh, but baby is the daisy
Em A
in the front pocket of my shirt
[Intro]
D Em7 G D
[Chorus]
Em7
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
D
But the future ain't no joke
A
The days just don't slow down
G D
The punch line's funny till you choke
Em7
And I keep my act sincere
D
Happy faces in the crowd
A
Laughing through the tears
G Bm A
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
