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 circumstance
        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
