Chords

(Written by Phillip Claypool)
    C                          F
Before you draw the final curtain

    G                       C
Before the big top crashes down

            C7           F
Before you pack away my trunk case

G                         C
I'd like to take a final bow

                             F
One last chance to hear the laughter

G                               C   C/B
And see your face there in the crowd

Am                      F
One last moment in the spotlight

G                          C
One last chance to be your clown

                C7
I guess you're tired of walking

  F         G                   
tightropes

G                           C
Of setting up and tearing down

            C7             Dm       G
You want a place to call forever

                             Am Am/G F
And rest your feet on solid ground

F
Somewhere you've lost that sense
of wonder
 Fm                            C C/B Am
But that's still the place I'm bound

                          F
I'm a storm in search of thunder

G                          C
I'm just a circus leaving town
Once we could fill the room with
F                               
laughter

G                                  C
And fill each other's hearts with joy

            C7           F
Through each trial and disaster

G                      C
Still we cling to our choice

                   F
To take a path so unforgiving

  G                        C C/B Am
A road that waits for no one

                              F
You know we chose to keep on living

G                              C
Lord, tell me where did we go wrong
I guess you're tired of walking
  F          G                 
tightropes

 G                          C
Of setting up and tearing down

            C7              Dm
You want a place to call forever

G                             Am Am/G F
And rest your feet on solid ground

F
Don't try to break this spell I'm under

Fm
And stop these wheels from

 C              C/B Am                    
spinning  around

                           F
I'm a storm in search of thunder

G                               C
Yes, I'm just a circus leaving town

                C7             F
Some day you'll wake up and wonder

Fm                            C C/B Am
And your heart will start to pound

                          F    G
And you'll long for the fonder

                      Am F Fm C
And the kisses of a clown...
