[Intro] G D A (2x) [Verse]
A
Everybody get your ticket, it?s almost time

D
To set up this freak show and watch me unwind

        G                            D                      A
For the next ninety minutes we?ll be havin? the time of our lives

A
I might sing something pretty if I?m feeling loved

        D
I might kick out the footlights if I drink too much

             G                      D                     A
I?ll give it all that I have hoping this time it might be enough

          Em      A     D    A     G       D
?Til they pack up my guitars and unplug my star
[Chorus]
      Em           G          A
Oh, a ringmaster?s night gets lonely

G         D             A
After the big top comes down

             G         D         A
Yeah, ?cause I go from being somebody

         Bm           D
To just another clown

                       A
When the circus leaves town
[Verse]
          A
Well it?s cold, dark and empty back in my cage

         D
And it?s all wasted hours ?til I?m back on stage

         G                           D               A
And it?s scary sometimes what I will do to pass them away

          Em   A       D      A            G           D
You learn live for the lights when they?re keeping you alive
[Chorus]
      Em           G          A
Oh, a ringmaster?s night gets lonely

G         D             A
After the big top comes down

             G         D         A
Yeah, ?cause I go from being somebody

         Bm           D
To just another clown

                       Em  G  A   G  D  A 
When the circus leaves town
[Chorus]
      Em           G          A
Oh, a ringmaster?s night gets lonely

G         D             A
After the big top comes down

          G         D         A
Yeah, and I go from being somebody

                Bm  A  D
To just another clown

                       A
When the circus leaves town
[Outro]
G  D                         A    G  D  A
      When the circus leaves town

G  D                   A    G  D  A  
      I?m leaving this town
G D A (repeat and fade)
