[E]Still wearing my makeup from yest[C#m]erday,
[A]I'm a corner cutting cl[E]own.
Lower the Cu[F#m]rtain Down
There's no more cr[C#m]owds around.[B]
[E]See Mary Jane sneaking a cigaret[C#m]te,
[A]Like a shadow in the r[E]oom.
Watching th[F#m]e cloud go by
Wishing that she c[C#m]ould fl[B]y.
[A]This is the ci[E]rcus
[A]The back stage[E] door
[A]Every act I[E]'ve seen be[B]fore
[E]Somebody's spilling a drink[C#m] on me
[A]Somebody claimed I saved hi[E]s life
Hoping he's[F#m] still alright
Until tomorr[C#m]ow ni[B]ght.
[E]In through the back door in B[C#m]altimore
[A]From the cradle to the s[E]tage
Singing m[F#m]y pain away
Hoping som[C#m]eone relates[B]
[A]This is the ci[E]rcus
[A]The beer soake[E]d floor
[A]Come take me eyes[E] I've seen be[B]fore
But when I feel all al[E]one
When I just don't k[C#m]now
[A]I hear your voice on the ph[E]one
[A]Saying when I come h[E]ome you'll be th[B]ere
You say you just can't [E]wait
But I'll be home too l[C#m]ate
[A]So when I find you asl[E]eep
[A]I will turn out the li[E]ghts
And kiss your per[B]fumed hair.
