[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Oh [Bb] yeah, yeah, [Eb] yeah.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Now if [Bb] that's your [Eb] smile on [Ab] my face,
[Eb] It's [Bb] only that [Eb] kind of [Ab] foolin'
[Eb] But wait, it's some kind of [Ab] foolin' you.
[Eb] Now [Bb] honey, that's [Eb] quite a [Ab] different subject,
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _
[Eb] I'm glad [Ab] it's [Eb] fresh, yeah.
[Bb] I'll give you [Gm] the royal [Ab] [Eb] present,
Cause [Bb] I'm really sad, [Eb] sad, [Ab] _ sad, sad.
[Bb] I'm sadder than [Eb] I hurt so bad, hurtin' [Bb] so bad.
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] I can [Eb] hardly pretend, I can hardly pretend to [Bb] be mad.
[Eb]
Sad, [Ab] sad, sad, [Eb] sad.
[F] There's a sad thing going [Gb] on,
But [Gm] ain't too much [Eb] sad again.
_ [Bb] Tears of a clown,
When you're alone around.
_ _ _ _ Oh yeah, baby.
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Well, I, _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] I'm gonna find a bed to be [Ab] carefree,
[Eb] So that [Bb] a girl [Eb] won't blind [Ab] my sadness,
[Eb] Or let [Bb] her shield [Eb] my pride [Ab] outside.
[Eb] You cover [Bb] this earth [Eb] with a show [Ab] of madness,
[Eb] But [Bb] don't let [Eb] my soul [Ab] get [Eb] you.
[Bb] Baby, I'm [Eb] just happy [Ab] to see [Eb] you,
It's sad and [Bb] it's cruel,
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] But [Eb] I need you [Bb] inside.
[Eb] _ _ And I don't want you [Bb] to know,
[Eb] That [Cm] the [Eb] love that I put on [Bb] your soul, _
[Eb] _ _ Baby, _ [F] it's a sad thing [D] going on,
_ But [Gm] ain't too much sad again.
_ [Bb] Tears of a clown,
_ When there's no one around.
Yeah, yeah. _ _ _
[Eb] Just like [Ab] my eyes [Eb] did,
_ [Bb] I [Eb] try to keep [Ab] my [Eb] sadness in,
Smiling in the bubbling [Ab] eyes,
[Eb] _ But in the lonely room.
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] Tears of a clown,
_ _ When there's no one around.
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] No [Bb] one [Eb] around.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] As [Bb] I cry [Eb] on [Ab] my way,
[Eb] _ [Bb] Don't let [Eb] my sad [Ab] _ [Eb] expression,
_ [Bb] Give [Eb] you the wrong [Ab] impression.
_ [Eb] Don't let this [Ab] smile wear,
[Eb] _ Your big fat, I just don't care.
As _ [Bb] I'm crying, [Eb] crying, [Ab] crying, [Eb] crying
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] Crying, [Eb] crying, crying, [Ab] crying
_ [Eb] Tears of a clown
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] Tears of [Ab] a clown
[Eb] Tears of a God, tears of [Ab] a [Eb] God, _ [Bb] crying, [Eb] crying, crying, [Ab] crying, crying, [Eb] crying, crying, crying,
[Bb] _ _
[Eb] tears of a [Bb] God. _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yeah, yeah.
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _
Yeah.
_ _ Right. _ _
I _ _ _ _ screwed up one more, but it doesn't matter.
No, it don't matter.
_ _ Nobody knew but you.
Nobody knew but me and you.
Right. _ _
