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
               C             Cm              G
I've done it again, another number for your notes


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
              C                    Cm                        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
             C
Behind the glass
              Am                F
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
        Dsus4     D
I would too if I saw me
               G
I'll be your clown
                   C
On your favorite channel
             Am            F
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
    Dsus4          D
I'm selling out tonight


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
                    C
I'll have time to please
                    Cm                    G
I'll have time to thank you as soon as I win

Chorus:
                  G
So I'll be your clown
             C
Behind the glass
              Am                F
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
        Dsus4     D
I would too if I saw me
               G
I'll be your clown
                   C
On your favorite channel
             Am            F
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
    Dsus4          D
I'm selling out tonight


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      ( D )
From so far away

Chorus:
                  G
So I'll be your clown
             C
Behind the glass
              Am                F
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
        Dsus4     D
I would too if I saw me
               G
I'll be your clown
                   C
On your favorite channel
             Am            F
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
    Dsus4          D
