[C#m]Our circus closed, [Ab]and the midnight ghost,
[C#dim]Comin’ out as [C#m]lights go [Ab]down.
[C#m]Old and tired clown, [Ab]no one is around,
[C#dim]Staring at the[C#m] mirror[Ab]
He said [A]oh, the [B]show must go [Abm]on,
Lived [A]in the crowd, but [Fm]dyin’ all [B]alone
[C#m]Clown in the[Ab] mirror[A] glitter[B] and [C#m]scars.
Here’s the [A]pleasure [B]and pain look as [C#m]one [A] [B]
[C#m]Clown in the[Ab] mirror[A] touchin’[B] the [C#m]stars,
he’s [A]flyin’ his [B]dream to the [C#m]sun
[C#m]What a mask can say?
[Ab]Cry the night away!
[C#dim]Askin’ mirror – [C#m]“tell me how [Ab]long?”
[C#m]Wrigglin’ all those years, through the [Ab]laugher’s tears,
[C#dim]Don’t believe in [C#m]hearts of [Ab]stone
He said [A]oh, the [B]show must go on[Abm],
Lived in the crowd, but dyin’ all alone oh
[C#m]Clown in the[Ab] mirror[A] glitter[A] and [C#m]scars.
Here’s the [A]pleasure and [B]pain look as [C#m]one, yeah!
[C#m]Clown in [Ab]the mirror[A] touchin’[B] the [C#m]stars,
he’s [A]flyin’ his [B]dream to the [C#m]sun
[E]But the sun will rise, [C#m/Eb]evil took the prize,
[E7/D]Something will remind [A]you
[Dm]Sign of [Am]disgrace – the [Dm]paint on your [Am]face [F#7]
Solo: [Bm] [F#m] [Bm] [F#m] [A]b [C#m] [C#dim] [C#m] [Ab]
[A]oh, the [B]show must go on[Abm],
Lived [A]in the crowd, but [Fm]dyin’ all [B]alone
[C#m]Clown in [Ab]the mirror[A] glitter[B] and [C#m]scars.
Here’s the [A]pleasure and [B]pain look as [C#m]one, as one!
[C#m]Clown in [Ab]the mirror[A] touchin’[B] the [C#m]stars,
he’s [A]flyin’ his [B]dream to the [C#m]sun
