[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][Am][F]
[C]

[Verse 1]
After [Am]a
couple of bottle of red
[F]Wine the truth finally [C]came out
The words [Am]"I don't love you
[F]Anymore" spilled from [C]his mouth
So I [Am]looked to the
Waiter for [F]some consolation
But he [C]just poured the coffee
And without hesitation he [G]said, [Am]"Ma'am
Is that [F]all you'll be needing to[C]night?"

[Verse 2]
[F]Oh the piano kep[Am]t playing[C]
And [F]nobody noticed the heart in
The corner booth [C]breaking
[F]Cell phones kept ringin'
Glasses were clinkin'
[C]Everyone laughin' and
dancin' and singin'
So I [Dm]painted a smile on my
[F]Face to cover [C]the frown
In that [Dm]room full of jokers and [F]jesters
I was [C]the clown

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][F][C][Am]
[F][C]

[Verse 3]
Well you [Am]can't walk the high wire [F]of
Love and be [C]afraid to fall
And you [Am]can't put all of your
[F]Faith in a gypsy's crys[C]tal ball
We just [Am]do what we do
Take the [F]chances we take
[C]Show me a life without a mistake
[Am]Oh, we all learn our l[F]essons
And we all [C]fall down

[Verse 4]
[F]Oh the piano keeps [C]playing
And [F]nobody notices the heart in
The corner booth [C]breaking
[F]Cell phones keep ringin'
Glasses keep clinkin'
[C]Everyone laughin' and
dancin' and singin'
So if [Dm]you paint a big smile on
Your [F]face to cover [C]the frown
In that [Dm]room full of jokers
[F]and jesters
Sometimes [C]you're the clown
[Am]

[Interlude 2]
[F][C]
[Am][F][C]

[Verse 5]
When [Dm]the circus [F]is over and
The tents are [C]pulled down the [Dm]truth is
The show must [F]go on for the clown
[C]An

[Verse 6]
