Tears Of a Clown

Am
All alone in a crowded room
G
He tries to force a smile
     C                 D
The smile it beamed or so it seemed
Am
But never reached the eyes, disguise
G                   C            D
Masquerading as the funny man do they despise


F                              Am
The false smile, maketh of the man
                    G
Glass empty or half full
                          D
Try to make some sense or sorrows drown
F                        Am
All looks well on the outside
                       G
Underneath, the solemn truth
                         D
There's something that inside has died


Am                       C
Tomorrow comes, tomorrow goes
                          F
But the cloud remains the same
                        Am
Wonder why he's feeling down
      C  D Am
Tears of a clown
                            C
Maybe it's all just for the best
                      F
Lay his weary head to rest
                    Am
Was forever feeling drowned
      C  D Am
Tears of a clown


Who motivates the motivator?
G
Facade it has to go
    C                  D
He knows, it sooner or later
Am
Smile for cameras, all okay
G                C              D
But tomorrow is another day, he must get through


F                      Am
He had a longer way to run
                G
Or so the story goes
                         D
Life full of fun, where did it go?
F                         Am
We saw the sadness in his eyes
                 G
It came as no surprise
                          D
And now, of course, we'll never know
