[Verse 1]
[Csus2]If there'[F]s[Bbsus2][F][C][F][Bbsus2]
[F]a s[C]mile on [F]my fac[Bbsus2]e
[F]It's only [C]there trying to
[F]fool the pub[Bbsus2]lic
[F]But when it [C]comes [F]down
to fooling [Bb]you
[Bbsus2]Now, that'[F]s a[C][F]
different sub[Bb]ject
[Bbsus2]Don't let [F]my g[C]lad [F]expression
[Bbsus2]Give you t[F]he wro[C]ng i[F]mpression
[Bbsus2]Cause really, I'[F]m sad[C]
[F]Oh,[Bbsus2] I'm sadder[F] than sad[C]
[F]You're [Bbsus2]gone and
I'm [F]hurting so [C]bad[F]
But like [Bb]a clown,
[Bbsus2]I pretend [F]to be glad[C][F][Bb]
[Bbsus2]Well, ther[F]e's some sad things[Gm]
that are known [Abdim]to man
[E]But[Abdim] ain't too much[Am] sadder than[F]
The tears of a [Am]clown
[F]When the[Am]re's no one aro[F]und
[Am]Now if I appear [C]to be ca[F]refree
[Bbsus2]It's only [F]to camou[Csus2]
[F]flage my [Bbsus2]sadness
[F]In order to [Csus2]shield my[C] hu[F]rt and pride
[Bb]I tr[Bbsus2]y to cover [F]this hurt[C]
[F]with a show of [Bbsus2]gladness
[F]But don't [C]let [F]my show convince you
[Bb]That [Bbsus2]I've been[F]
happy since [Bb]you,
[Bbsus2]since you deci[F]ded to go
[C]Oh,[F] how[Bbsus2] I need you[Bb] so[F][C][F]
I'm [Bb]hurt an[Bbsus2]d I want you [F]to know[C]
[F]But[Bbsus2] for others,
[F]I put on a s[C]how[F][Bb][Bbsus2]
[F]Now there are some [G]sad things
That are known [E]to [Fdim]man
[E]But ain't [Am]too much sadder than
[F]The tears of a clo[Am]ud
[F]When [Am]there's no one arou[F]nd
[Am][F][Am][F][C]
[Csus2]Just like[F] Pali[Bbsus2]achi did[Bb][Bbsus2][F]
[Csus2]I try to [F]keep my sadness hid[Bbsus2]
[F]Smiling in [C]my clo[F]wn dis[Bbsus2]guise
[Bb]But [Bbsus2]in my lonel[F]y room I [C]cry[F]
The tears of [Am]a cloud
when there's no one around
[F]The [Am]tears of a cloud
[F]when [Am]there's no one around
[F]The [Am]tear[F]s of a[Am] cloud you
