There's [Am]always a joker [C]in the pack
There's [F]always a lonely [Dm]clown
The [Am]poor laughing fool [C]falls on his back
And [F]everyone laughs when he's [E]down
There's [Am]always a funny man [C]in the game
But [F]he's only funny by [Dm]mistake
[A#]And everyone laughs at him just the same
They [Bm]don't see his lonely heart [E]break
[E5]They don't care as long as [Em]there is a jester, [E]just a [Am]fool
[Em]As foolish as he [Am]can [Em] [Am]be
[Em]There's always a [C]joker, [E]that's the [A]rule
But [Em]fate deals the [Am]hand that I [E]see
The joker is [F]me, [Am]the joker is [F] [Am]me
The joker is [F]me, [Am]the joker is [F] [Am]me
The joker is me
Drink the poison
'Cause [Am]there's always a loser [C]in the game
The [F]court loves to watch them [Dm]cry
The [Am]royals shout, [C]"This queen needs to sing"
To [F]ruffle the scene of the [E]crime
The [Am]king wears a funny [C]suit, he's a clown
The [F]crowd rumbles with their [Dm]roars
[A#maj7]And everyone watches as he [A#]declines
The [Bm]queen pierces him with a [E]sword
[E5]I don't care as long as [Em]there is a wild man [E]in the [Am]deck
[Em]As long as I see his [Am] [Em] [Am]frown
Then [Em]I won't be [C]lonely, [E]that's a [A]fact
I stand [Em]here and [Am]wait for his [E]sound, ha, ha, ha
The joker is [F]me, [Am]the joker is [F] [Am]me
