Here I come, the king of clowns..as I hide behind 
     F#                  B
this smile and paint the town.
         B7                E                  B

ever since the day that you found someone new (someone new.)
     B7                  E             B              F#

lonely teardrops that come down.
         B7            E              B                 F#
I make believe, with a smile..but the king of clowns is crying 
        B
all the while.

There are tears (there are tears) you'll never see (never see.)
           F#7          F#             B

           B7              E             B             F#
