(Riff x2)

I am a circus freak Caught in a cage, caught in a cage
Staring without a blink Swallow me whole, swallow me whole

G#m    B     F#     C#

(Riff x2)
I am a circus freak Cut out my heart, cut out my heart 
Loveless and watch me bleed Tear me apart, tear my apart Yeah!

[Chorus]
G#m             B
I've lost myself in make-believe
F#                        C#
I don't wanna go, I don't want to go, make me
G#m          B          F#
Over and over I've deceived
                           C#
I don't wanna go, I don't want to go
             E                G#m
You want reform? I can't conform
               E                    G7
Cause I can't take anymore of your tainted bliss cause
G#m           B             E      F# (1)
I've lost myself in make-believe           You can't break me

[Riffx2]
I am a circus freak So many scars, so many scars
I'm just the common creep Something to watch, something to watch

B  F#   C#             E          F#
Oh,          you know you can't break me

[Chorus]
G#m             B
I've lost myself in make-believe
F#                        C#
I don't wanna go, I don't want to go, make me
G#m          B          F#
Over and over I've deceived
                           C#
I don't wanna go, I don't want to go
             E                G#m
You want reform? I can't conform
               E                    G7
Cause I can't take anymore of your tainted bliss cause
G#m           B             E      F# (1)
I've lost myself in make-believe           You can't break me

"Come one, come all! Step up for the one, the lonely,
Circus freak!"

[Bridge]

You'll never break me You'll never change me, no
La, da, da, da, da La, da, da, da
You'll never break me You'll never change me, no
La, da, da, da, da La, da, da, da
            G#m                        
I've waited 10 long years just to look in the mirror
       B                  C#
And to find just what I'm staring at
            G#m
I've waited 10 long years just to tell you I'm fearless
           B                    C#
You don't understand, I've become who I am!

Oh,            you know you can't break me

I don't wanna go, I don't want to go, make me
G#m          B          F#
Over and over I've deceived
                           C#
I don't wanna go, I don't want to go
             E                G#m

I've lost myself in make-believe           You can't break me
