[Intro] | C | C | C | C | | C | C | C | C | [Verse 1]
      C                  C
I can sing, I can dance,   just give me a chance

G                  G
  to do my turn for you.

          Dm                        G
There's a chance I'll slip but with stiff upper lip

     C                C7
I'll sing my song for you.
[Chorus]
F                         F
Laughter is free but it's so hard to be

Em         A
  a jester all the time.

    Dm                         Dm/C
And no one's believing I'm the same when I'm bleeding

      G/B          G           C         C
and I hurt all the time deep inside.
[Verse 2]
            C                  C
I've shed a tear for the lying while everyday

       G                         G
trying   to paint this smile for you.

Dm                        G
Backflips, cartwheelings, somersault feelings,

C                       C7
  what is there left to do?
[Chorus]
F                         F
Laughter is free but it's so hard to be

Em                 A
  a jester all the time.

    Dm                         Dm/C
And no one's believing I'm the same when I'm bleeding

    G/B            G           C         C7
and I hurt all the time deep inside.
[Bridge]
Fm              Fm            C               C
  Roll up, roll up, enjoy the show,

Fm                             Fm           C               C
pick me up, wind me up, put me down, you'll see me go.

Fm                 Fm    C                C
  And this painted smile   may miss for a while,

Fm          Fm/Eb    D          G
  then come back and steal your show.
[Verse 3]
  C              C
I sing, I dance,   give me a chance

G                   G
  to do my turn for you.

     Dm                        G
With backflips, cartwheelings, somersault feelings,

C              C7
  what's there left to do?
[Chorus]
F                         F
Laughter is free but it's so hard to be

Em         A
  a jester all the time.

    Dm                         Dm/C
And no one's believing I'm the same when I'm bleeding

    G/B            G           C         C7
and I hurt all the time deep inside.
[End-Chorus]
F                         F
Laughter is free but it's so hard to be

Em                 A
  a jester all the   time.

    Dm                         Dm/C
And no one's believing I'm the same when I'm bleeding

    G/B            G    C           C7
and I hurt all the time deep inside.
