[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D][G][Am][D][G][A][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Somebody
told me not to go there tonight
[G]Voices screaming at me
in the glare of the light
The [Bm]only way I know to get out of this race
Is feel the [G]cool of the canvas
against [A]my face
I [Bm]really gotta wonder about
most of us clowns
It's a [G]three ring circus
all chasing around
May[Bm]be next Saturday is too far away
Give me some [G]here and [Gm]some now
[G]Give me one[A] more day
Stay [D]down, that's what
my corner tell[Em]s me
As [G]I smile for the [A]round -collared [D]girl
Stay down, better luck tomorrow
[Em]I say yes,[G] it's a beau[A]tiful world
[Bm]Mmm, [G]such a [A]beautiful [D]world
So [Bm]cut my laces, help me find my room
It's [G]all just a game and it ends too soon
I'll [Bm]pull myself together
for another sham
I'll find my [G]own way to win
and I [A]don't give a damn
I don't give a damn, yeah
Stay [D]down, that's what
my corner tell[Em]s me
As I [G]smile for the [A]round -hearted [D]girl
Stay down, better luck tomor[Em]row
I say [G]yes, it's a [A]beautiful [D]world
[Bm]Oh L[G]ord, it's such a
[A]beautiful [D]world
[Gm]Rockin' and rollin',
rhythm and blues
Sham[Bb]min' and jammin',
let me tell [A]you the news
[G]Ballin' [Gm]and weavin', duckin',
shootin' your shot
It's [Bb]showtime, sucker,
give it [A]everything you got
Everything, yeah
Stay [G]down, [D]that's what
my corner tell[Em]s me
As I [G]smile for the [A]loud, quiet [D]girl
Stay down, better luck tomorrow
[Em]I say yes,[G] it's a beau[A]tiful worl[D]d
Stay down,
that's what my corner tell[Em]s me
As I [G]smile for the [A]round car, [D]girl
Stay down, better luck tomorrow
[Em]I say yes,[G] it's a beau[A]tiful worl[D]d
Oo[Bm]h, s[G]uch a be[A]autiful world
[Bm]Ooh, [G]such a [A]beautiful world
