(Intro)

C-F-Em-G- 2 Times

(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-Cadd2
I resign as clown

(Break 1)

Fm        G#  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
Then dear Madam Barnum
Em        G    C-F-Em-G - Cadd2
I resign as clown

(Bridge)

Am
You tread the high wire
Bbma7
Between truth and lies
Dm
Your safety net just walked out
Em         G
Much to your surprise

(Verse 3)

C F
Strike up the band love
Em         G
And let the show begin
C          F
For this is the last time
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
I resign as clown

C-F-Em-G-Cadd2
