Lyrics

I guess it’s (D)fun ni er from where you’re stand ing,

’cause from (D)o ver here I missed the joke.

Clear the (D)way for my crash (Em7)land ing.

I’ve done it a gain,

an oth er (Cm6)num ber for your notes.

I’d be (D)smil ing if I was n’t so des p’rate.

I’d be (D)pa tient if I had the time.

I could (D)stop and ans wer all of your ques tions

as soon as I find out how I can move from the back of the line.

I’ll be your (G)clown,

be hind the (Cmaj7)glass.

Go ’head and laugh

’cause it’s fun ny.

I would too

if I saw me.

I’ll be your (G)clown,

on your fav ’rite chan nel.

My life’s a (Am)cir cus, cir cus.

(Am)’Round in cir cles, (Dsus)sell ing out to (D)night.

From a (D)dis tance my choice is sim ple.

From a (D)dis tance I can en ter tain.

So you can (D)see me I put (Em7)make up on my face, but there’s no (Fmaj7)way you can feel it

from so (Am)far a way.

I’ll be your (Dsus)sell ing out to (D)night.
