[C#m] Our circus closed, [Ab] and the midnight ghost,
[C#dim] Comin' out as [C#m] lights go [Ab] down.
[C#m] Old and tired clown, [Ab] no one is around,
[C#dim] Staring at the[C#m] mirror[Ab]
He said [A] oh, the [B] show must go [Abm] on,
Lived [A] in the crowd, but [Fm] dyin' all [B] alone
[C#m] Clown in the[Ab] mirror[A] glitter[B] and [C#m] scars.
Here's the [A] pleasure [B] and pain look as [C#m] one [A] [B]
[C#m] Clown in the[Ab] mirror[A] touchin'[B] the [C#m] stars,
he's [A] flyin' his [B] dream to the [C#m] sun
[C#m] What a mask can say?
[Ab] Cry the night away!
[C#dim] Askin' mirror – [C#m] "tell me how [Ab] long?"
[C#m] Wrigglin' all those years, through the [Ab] laugher's tears,
[C#dim] Don't believe in [C#m] hearts of [Ab] stone
He said [A] oh, the [B] show must go on[Abm] ,
Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone oh
[C#m] Clown in the[Ab] mirror[A] glitter[A] and [C#m] scars.
Here's the [A] pleasure and [B] pain look as [C#m] one, yeah!
[C#m] Clown in [Ab] the mirror[A] touchin'[B] the [C#m] stars,
he's [A] flyin' his [B] dream to the [C#m] sun
[E] But the sun will rise, [C#m/Eb] evil took the prize,
[E7/D] Something will remind [A] you
[Dm] Sign of [Am] disgrace – the [Dm] paint on your [Am] face [F#7]
Solo: [Bm] [F#m] [Bm] [F#m] [A] b [C#m] [C#dim] [C#m] [Ab]
