Tom: Am Am F C E Whatever happened to the great escape Am F C E The finest ever made? Am F C E Crafted with pride by masters on the Am trade F C E The world's greatest circus [Chorus] F C We had the story of the impossible E Am A tale best told softly C E One of make-believe Am D Maybe impossible to achieve F But really close [Verse] Am F C E Who soothed the lion's hungry in the cage Am F C E With the confidence of a clown? Am F C E The little man who rises on the stage Am F C E As he falls without a safety net? [Chorus] F C We had the story of the impossible E Am A tale best told softly C E One of make-believe Am D Maybe impossible to achieve F But really close Am F C E Whatever happened to the great escape Am F C E And to all the plans we make? Am F C E Crafted with pride by Masters on the trade Am F C E The world's greatest circus [Chorus] F C We had the story of the impossible E Am A tale best told softly C E One of make-believe Am D Maybe impossible to achieve F But really close [Outro] Am F C E x2 Am
