Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

VERSE:
Bmaj7                    C#m7
Can`t seem to fit the mould no matter how I tried
 Bmaj7                     C#m7
Phasing the days out; barely existing while the others pass him by

       D#m7        Bmaj7    Emaj7       E
And then he thinks he`s found direction in a lighter shade of blue.
 D#m7      D#m       E
There`s no resurrection, just another voice
 E   N.C.    B Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
Telling him what to do

B Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7


VERSE:
  Bmaj7          C#m7               Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
If comedy`s subjective; it seems nobody out there shared his lessons
  Bmaj7
You can`t queue with the big boys
     C#m7               Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
`Cos your image has not yet received their blessing

     D#m7    D#m      E          E
And they take their time while he waits and stands in line
    D#m                     E
And the back street tales of crime don`t leave us thinking...


PRE-CHORUS:
 E  N.C.           G#m7
What if you were one of the others?
G#m     F# F#
Just for a while...


CHORUS:
  D#m7           D#m
No chance in life yet still they`re told to just
 E          E
Nod their heads and smile
N.C.          G#m7   G#m7
If you lived with what they did;
       F# F#
Would you be down?
   D#m7        D#m     E
It`s hard to know what`s really going on
      E  N.C.     Bmaj7
Behind the face of a smiling clown


INSTRUMENTAL:
Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7


VERSE:
Bmaj7                       C#m7 C#m
Everyone`s an article written by what`s gone on before
  B        Bmaj7        C#m7
So does it really surprise you when some fall short of the law?
     D#m      Bmaj7   E
And he`s taken all the beatings; unarmed and unmanned
D#m
Two days since he`s eaten.
 E        E  N.C.    B  Bmaj7 C#m
Surely some can give this one a hand?
C#m         B Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m
`Cos he can hardly stand.


VERSE:
      B
He says, `Won`t somebody help me?
   C#m                 B  B C#m C#m
Cos I just can`t play this deadly game of poker`
 B
`None of these suits fit me,
   C#m      F#m   F#    B  B C#m C#m
So I guess it`s up to me to play the joker`

     D#m           E
When the walls they fall and he`s left to reap it all.
     D#m                  E
For the things he ain`t been taught, maybe we should have thought.


PRE-CHORUS:
 E  N.C.          G#m7
What if you were one of the others?
      F# F#
Just for a while.


CHORUS:
  D#m7
No chance in life yet still they`re told to just
 E
Nod their heads and smile
N.C.          G#m7   G#m7
If you lived with what they did;
       F# F#
Would you be down?
   D#m7        D#m     E
It`s hard to know what`s really going on
      E  N.C.     B  B C#m7
Behind the face of a smiling clown
F#            B B C#m7
`Cause life will get you down


OUTRO:
C#m     B      C#m7 C#m
Ooh, ooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh
C#m     B      C#m7 C#m
Ooh, ooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh
C#m     D#m D#m7
Ooh, ooh, oooooooooh,
      E
Wooh, ooh, wooh ooh, ooh
 D#m7    E   E
Wooooooooh ooooooooh
 D#m7    E   E
Wooooooooh ooooooooh
D#m7  E
Woooh, woah
