[Verse 1]
                 Gm
Just move along, it’s nothing new
   A#m               Fm
No touching this and this or that
C#                 Gm
Keep your tongue inside your mouth
      G             F
Don’t say a word, a whisper

               C
Compliments I fear they’re not
A#
Your god is not a silly face
N.C.
A deity’s performance
N.C.
Oh, but I’m not like that

Fm
Move along, it’s nothing new
A#m                          Fm
No touching this and this or that
        G#m7
Don’t assign my talents
       A#m7
In the wrong category

Fm
‘Cross the rope, they mesmerize
A#m
My balance lost, the crowd unpleased
A deity’s performance
G           F#m      F
Oh, but I’m not like that

Bm F#m Am Em Am F#m Am
Bm F#m Am Em Am F#m Am


[Chorus]

I don’t see the correlation
                  G          Am
Where’s the logic if there’s any?
N.C.
I don’t see the point in painting
N.C.
Merry smiles to hide the truth

              Bm
You know it’s rude to stare
C           G
Balloons we fill with air
  Am       B
A helium-defining voice
Am                  A
Either way you make too much noise


[Verse 2]
   Bm7
Topsy-turvy
Am7
Sweetly dreaming
Toss and turning in a
                    B7
Frantic state of disbelief
    Am7
The crowd goes wild with applause
B7   Am           A
Over absolutely nothing

C7
Sing a dance that goes a bit like
G7           C7        A#7
“La-ta-da-la-ta-la-ta-ta”
                  G
Maybe you’ll understand
A#                              D#
I mean, it’s not that hard, you say

G#                       F#m
Pull the mask up off the clown
                             C#m
You’ll see the window to her soul
     D#m           F#m
Deprecated acts of jest
                               C#m
And telling jokes you take too seriously

G#m C#m G#m G# C#m


[Chorus]
Am
I don’t see the correlation
Where’s the logic if there’s any?
                Bm
I don’t see the point in painting
Cm                       Am
Merry smiles to hide the truth

              Bm
You know it’s rude to stare
Cm          C         Am
Balloons we fill with air
         Bm
A helium-defining voice
Cm                  G        Am
Either way you make too much noise

                   Bm            Cm G
I repeat: you make too much noise
Am                 B             C G
I repeat: you make too much noise

Am


[Bridge]
N.C.
A juggling act of choice
N.C.
The acrobatic scene
N.C.
A lion’s open mouth
N.C.
The leader screams our names

N.C.
Walk the rope or fall
N.C.
Adorn the vivid lights
N.C.
Declare the world is yours
N.C.
I find it hard not to laugh

N.C.
I should never be this high above the audience
N.C.
In all honesty, and I mean every word
N.C.
I’m not a freak
N.C.
I’m not an act
N.C.
I’m not a deity’s performance


[Chorus]
I don’t think the show is ending
Cm          G     Am
Everybody’s still applauding
                Bm
I don’t see the point in painting
Am
Merry smiles on my face

              B
You know it's rude to stare
C           G
This really isn’t fair
     Am     B
Your helium-infected voice
Am
PLEASE SHUT UP, YOU MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE

                   B              C G
I D PEAT: YOU MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
    Am             B            C G
OH, I C N’T BELONG IN THIS SHOW
Am                 B             C G
I D PEAT: YOU MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
    Am             B            C
OH, I C N’T BELONG IN THIS SHOW
