[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] Oh yeah, [C#] yeah, [F#] yeah
_ [B] Now [F#] if [C#] there's a smile [F#] on [B] my face
[F#] It's [C#] only there [F#] trying to fool [B] the public
[F#] But when [C#] it comes [F#] down to [B] fooling you
[F#] Now [C#] honey, that's [F#] quite a different [B] _
[F#] subject
[C#] Don't let [G#] my bad [B] expression
[F#] _ [C#] Give you [F#] the wrong [B] impression
[F#] Really [C#] I'm _ [F#] sad, [B] _
[F#] oh sadder than [C#] _ sad
You're gone and [F#] I'm hurting so [C#] bad
[F#] Like [B] a clown I [F#] pretend to be [C#] _ [F#] glad
_ [B] _ _
Not [G#] as some sad things known to [F] man
But [A#m] ain't you my _ [F#] saddest thing
The tears [G#] of a clown
_ When [C#] there's no one [G#] around _ _ _
[C#] Ooh, ooh, _ _ [F#] ooh
[B] _
[F#] Oh yeah, [C#] baby
[F#] _ _ [B] _
[F#] Now if I [C#] appear [F#] to be [B] carefree
[F#] It's only [C#] to [F#] camouflage [B] my sadness
[F#] In order [C#] to shield [F#] my proud [B] outcry
[F#] To cover [C#] this hurt [F#] with a show [B] of [F#] gladness
But [C#] don't let [G#] my show convince [F#] you
That [C#] I've [F#] been happy [B] since you
[F#] Decided [C#] to [F#] go
_ [B] Oh, [F#] I'm weak [C#] and strong
_ [B] I'm hurt and [F#] I want you to know
But [B] no one does [F#] that good on the show
_ _ [B] Ooh, ooh, [C#] ooh
Like [G#] some sad things known [F] to man
[A#m] But ain't you my [F#] saddest thing
The tears [G#] of a clown
_ When there's no one around
_ Oh yeah
[C#] _ _ [F#] Just like [B] all your [D#m] children [C#] did
I [F#] try to keep [B] my [F#] sadness [C#] hidden
Smiling [F#] in the [B] public [F#] eye
[C#] But in the [F#] lonely room [B] I cry
[F#] The tears [C#] of a clown _ _
When there's no one [F#] around
_ [B] _ _
Oh [C#] yeah, [F#] baby
_ [B] _
Now if [C#] there's a smile [F#] on my [B] _
face
[C#] Don't [F#] let my [B] bad expression
[C#] Give you [F#] the [B] wrong impression
[C#] But don't let this [B] smile I wear
[F#] Make [C#] you [G#] think that I don't care
For [C#] anything sad
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
