INTRO: B7 Em
I see a [C]clown painting his [Em]face once more
[A]Before the show has [Em]started[B7][Em]
He paints a [C]smile on his face with his [Em]makeup now[A]
Although he's broken [Em]hearted
But the [C]rule of the clown is [D]simple
And the [C]show must go on as [F]always
[Em]People are there to [D]laugh at him
And [C]he mustn't let them [F]down[Em]_____[F]___[Em]____[B7]___[Em]
He's lost some[C]one dear to him and he's [Em]crying now[A]
Although he doesn't [Em]show it[B7][Em]
He gives the [C]show of his life, though he's [Em]breaking down[A]
Although you'd never [Em]know it
But there's [C]something different a[D]bout his smile
An [C]unfamiliar [F]frown
Yes, there's [Em]something different a[D]bout him now
He's [Em]painted his [A7]smile on upside [F]down[Em]__
