Em         D       C
 This is a clown's tale 
Em       D
 Falling over 
Am
 Again and again
Em             D
 He paints his face 
      C                G
 With colors from the sun

 This is a clown's tale 
Em       D
 Jumping up

 Spinning round and around

 He kicks his heels

 To the laughter of the crowd
Bb         C                  D

Em             D       C
 Why do we all fail to see
     Em          D         C
 The darkness in another's heart
Em             D        C 
 Why do we all turn our backs
    Em
 On open wounds 
     D      C
 And failed attractions
B               Am 
 Painted on the canvas there 
B               Am       C
 Written in the books we share

Em         D      C
 This is a fool's tale
Em       D
 Rolling over 
Am
 Again and again 
Em       D
 Telling jokes 
    C                   G
 To cool the anger of a king

 But he can never be the same

Em      D
 Try to walk 
        G            Am
 Beyond words of the wise 
Bb            C
 Then reach a place too high 
Bb         C
 Show them you can fly 
Bb         C                 Fm
 And dream until you hit the ground

VER 1
****** 
D            C
 Don't offer sympathy 
      Bb
 When you've just walked away 
D           C 
 Don't play apologies 
     Gm
 And sentimental games 
D        C
 I stood before the world 
     Bb          Fm
 And gave you my heart 
Am          Em         Am
 And it may never beat again

VER 2
******
D              C
 Don't give me hollow tears
    Bb
 Or empty cries of shame 
D             C
 Don't try to turn away 
    Gm
 By throwing me the blame 
D        C
 I stood before the world 
     Bb          Fm
 And gave you my soul 
Am           Em            Am
 And now I'm living in the rain

 But he is lying in
C      Em

 He is crying in the rain
