[Intro] Am G C D 2x [Verse 1]
Am
All alone in a crowded room

G
He tries to force a smile

     C                 D
The smile it beamed or so it seemed

Am
But never reached the eyes, disguise

G                   C            D
Masquerading as the funny man do they despise

F                              Am
The false smile, maketh of the man

                    G
Glass empty or half full

                          D
Try to make some sense or sorrows drown

F                        Am
All looks well on the outside

                       G
Underneath, the solemn truth

                         D
There's something that inside has died
[Refrain]
Am                       C
Tomorrow comes, tomorrow goes

                          F
But the cloud remains the same

                        Am
Wonder why he's feeling down

      C  D Am
Tears of a clown

                            C
Maybe it's all just for the best

                      F
Lay his weary head to rest

                    Am
Was forever feeling drowned

      C  D Am
Tears of a clown
[Vers 2]
Am
Who motivates the motivator?

G
Facade it has to go

    C                  D
He knows, it sooner or later

Am
Smile for cameras, all okay

G                C              D
But tomorrow is another day, he must get through

F                      Am
He had a longer way to run

                G
Or so the story goes

                         D
Life full of fun, where did it go?

F                         Am
We saw the sadness in his eyes

                 G
It came as no surprise

                          D
And now, of course, we'll never know
