[Intro] | G | Em | Bm | D | | G | Em | Bm | C | [Verse 1]
G       Em            Bm     C
  Sweet Sunday afternoon, September's golden brown

G        Em               Bm            C
  Summer always fades too soon like the laughter of a clown

G  Em                   Bm         C
   And shadows fill the room where sorrows come to drown

G      Em                   Bm       C
  Your heart's a lead balloon as you sink another one down
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am          D
  I know it numbs the way you feel

Am              D
  Blurs what is right and what is real

Am             Em                   D
  There's no love left you can steal
[Chorus]
        C              G
For the joker, laughs along

        Em            A7
As the jester's outsmarted

        C                Em                 D
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost

        C               G
And the sad man sings a song

        Em                  A7
For the drunk and broken hearted

        C                   D               
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs
[Riff] | G | Em | Bm | D | | G | Em | Bm | C | [Verse 2]
G       Em           Bm      C
  Sweet Sunday afternoon and all that can be heard

G       Em              Bm                  C
  Is an old, familiar tune though you've forgotten half the words

G     Em                   Bm         C
  And sunlight floods the room like a silent flock of birds

G     Em                 Bm    C
  And hope's a red balloon, disappearing through the clouds
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am          D
  I know it numbs the way you feel

Am              D
  Blurs what is right and what is real

Am           Em                     D
  There's no one here to make a deal with
[Chorus]
        C             G
For the joker laughs along

        Em          A7
And the jester's outsmarted

        C                Em                 D
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost

            C                  G
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song

        Em                  A7
For the drunk and broken hearted

        C                   D
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs
[Instrumental Bridge] | G | Em | G | Em | G | Em | D | | C | G | C | G | C | Am | D | [Chorus]
                C                 G
Yeah, well, the joker, he laughs along

        Em          A7
As the jester's outsmarted

        C                Em                 D
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost

            C                     G
Oh, and the sad man, he sings a song

        Em                  A7
For the drunk and broken hearted

             C                  D                G
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it costs

           C                  D                G
Well, the fool, he never knows how much it costs
