Am            D                                       G
I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
Am            D                                       G
'Cause from over here I've missed the joke
Am            D                                       G
Cleared the way for my crash landing
Am            D                                       G
I've done it again, another number for your notes
Am            D                                       G
I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
Am            D                                       G
I'd be patient if I had the time
Am            D                                       G
I could stop and answer all of your questions
Am            D                                       G
As soon as I find out how I could move from the back of the line

                      G
So I'll be your clown
                 Em7
Behind the glass
                     Am                    C
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
            D
I would too if I saw me
                 G
I'll be your clown

Am            D                                       G
I'd be less angry if it was my decision
Am            D                                       G
And the money was just rolling in
Am            D                                       G
If I had more than my ambition
                         Am
I'll have time to please
                        D                                 G
I'll have time to thank you as soon as I win

                     G
So I'll be your clown

Bridge:
Am      D                                G
From a distance my choice is simple
Am      D                     G
From a distance I can entertain
Am            D                  Em
So you can see me I put makeup on my face
                      F
But there's no way you can feel it
                   C      D
From so far away
