_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Eb] Now if it's [Bb] a smile [Eb] upon [Ab] my face [Bb] It's only that I [Eb] try to fool [Ab] the [Eb] public
But [Bb] when I come [Eb] down I'm [Ab] fooling you, [Eb] baby Now [Bb] honey, that's [Eb] quite a [Ab] different [Eb] subject
_ [Bb] Don't let [F] my [Ab] glad [Eb] expression give you the wrong [Ab] _
[Eb] impression
Cause [Bb] really I'm [Eb] sad, _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] sad [Bb] and sad [Eb] _ [Ab] You're gone [Eb] and I'm hurting [Bb] so [Eb] bad
Like [Ab] a clown I [Eb] pretend to [Bb] be glad, [Eb] _ _ [Ab] yeah [Eb] Now [F] there's some sad things known [Gb] to man
But ain't [Gm] too much [Eb] sadder than the tears [Bb] of a _ clown _
When there's no one around _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] Now _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] if [Bb] I appear [Eb] to be [Ab] carefree [Eb] It's [Bb] only to _ [Eb] camouflage [Ab] my sadness
[Eb] In order [Bb] to shield [Eb] my pride [Ab] I try [Bb] To cover this hurt [Eb] with a show [Ab] of [Eb] gladness
[Bb] But won't let [F] my show [Ab] convince [Eb] you [Bb] That I've been [Eb] happy [Ab] since [Eb] you decided [Bb] to go
[Eb] _ _ _ _
Why did [Bb] you show?
[Eb] _ I'm hurt and I want you [Bb] to [Eb] know
For all that I put on [Bb] a show
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _
Now [F] there's some sad things known [D] to man But [Gm] ain't too much [Eb] sadder than the tears [Bb] of a clown
_ _ When there's no one around, _ _ yeah
_ _ _ [Gm] Just like [Ab] Patty actually [Bb] did I [Eb] try to [Ab] keep my [Eb] sadness hid
[Bb] _ Smiling in the public [Ab] eye _ [Bb] _ _ [F] Only to ruin [Ab] my [Eb] pride
The [Bb] tears of a clown _ _ When there's no one _ around, yeah _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
