[Verse 1]

Am              D                         G
   I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
Am              D                        G
  'Cause from over here I've missed the joke
Am              D               Em
   Cleared the way for my crash landing
                  Am          D               G
  I've done it again, another number for your notes


[Verse 2]

Am        D                      G
   I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
Am        D                    G
   I'd be patient if I had the time
Am         D                          Em
   I could stop and answer all of your questions
              Am                  D                         G
As soon as I find out how I could move from the back of the line


[Chorus]

               G
So I'll be your clown
           Cmaj7
Behind the glass
             Am                 Am/G
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
      D/F#
I would too if I saw me
            G
I'll be your clown
                 Cmaj7
On your favorite channel
            Am                     Am/G
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
    D/F#          D
I'm selling out tonight


[Verse 3]

Am           D                      G
I'd be less angry if it was my decision
Am             D                      G
And the money was just rolling in
Am       D              Em
If I had more than my ambition
                      Am                         D                     G
I'll have time to please I'll have time to thank you as soon as I win


[Chorus]

               G
So I'll be your clown
           Cmaj7
Behind the glass
             Am                 Am/G
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
      D/F#
I would too if I saw me
            G
I'll be your clown
                 Cmaj7
On your favorite channel
            Am                     Am/G
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
    D/F#          D
I'm selling out tonight


[Bridge]

C        D                     G
 From a distance my choice is simple
C        D                   G
 From a distance I can entertain
C            D           Em
 So you can see me I put makeup on my face
                F
But there's no way you can feel it
         Am
From so far away


[Chorus] x2

               G
So I'll be your clown
           Cmaj7
Behind the glass
             Am                 Am/G
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
      D/F#
I would too if I saw me
            G
I'll be your clown
                 Cmaj7
On your favorite channel
            Am                     Am/G
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
    D/F#          D
I'm selling out tonight
