Verse: Bm Gb come see the circus man, you’ll want to take a look Gb Bm come see the circus man, he’s got you on his Hook G he’s got baubles, he’s got trinkets, D he’s got cards hid up his sleeve Gb once you step into his circus, dear Bm then you won’t want to leave Chorus: G ‘cause he eats life D he eats life Gb knows the taste of pain and pleasure knows the bite of love and strife G he’ll drink up all your stories D and he’ll pour some of his own Gb you decide if you believe him Bm but you’ll never drink alone Verse: Bm Gb come see the empty man with dirt caked on his tongue Gb Bm come see the empty man, he’s only two years young G he’s got blood that flows with magic D he’s got eyes carved in his skin Gb -we are soon to see his ending but we don’t know where he begins- Chorus: G so he eats life D he eats life Gb pain and pleasure push aside the void and boredom’s like a knife G by chance he finds a family D so he loves them as his own Gb and no matter what the cirxxxstance Bm they’ll never drink alone Verse: Bm Gb come see the circus man before he breathes his last Gb Bm he knows his angel’s missing, knows the danger hasn’t passed G he takes a risk to save her D -it’s all borrowed time, he knows- Gb now he stares into the face of death Bm with eyes that never close
