[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 Em G
And pull this freak show down
[Chorus]
C F Em
Dear Madam Barnum
G C F Em Cadd9
I resign as clown
[Break 1]
Fm Ab C
You said I was the master of all I 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
