Tom: E

(Intro) E  A   A B C# B    E A   C# B A B

 E        A           F#m         B
   People say I'm the life of the party
 E                A (Notes only) C# B A B
   Cause I tell a joke or two
              E        A        F#m      B
   Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
 E      A (Notes only)  C# B A B
   Deep inside I'm blue

(Chorus)
             E    A          F#m    B
   So take a good look at my face
                 E     A            F#m   B
   You'll see my smile looks out of place
               E            A       F#m
   If you look closer, it's easy to trace
       B            E     A (Notes only)  C# B A B
   The tracks of my tears
     A    E    A    E
   I need you, need you

 E           A              F#m           B
   Since you left me if you see me with another girl
   E                A (Notes only) C# B A B
   Seeming like I'm having fun
                E        A                 F#m       B
   Although she maybe be cute she's just a     substitute
           E          A (Notes only) C# B A B
   Because you're the permanent one

(Chorus)
             E    A          F#m   B
   So take a good look at my face
                     E     A            F#m   B
   Ooh you'll see my smile looks out of place
               E            A       F#m
   If you look closer, it's easy to trace
       B            E
   The tracks of my tears
          A           E                    A               E

(Bridge) 

      A              E        A               E
   Outside I'm masquerading inside my hope is fading
          A                            E
   Just a clown just a clown since you put me down
      C#m         A        E             F#m           B
   My smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you
   E     A     F#m         B
   Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

(Chorus)
          E     A         F#m   B
   Take a good look at my face
                      E      A           F#m   B

       B            E (hold)
   The tracks of my tears the tracks of my tears
