C#m              Ab
Our circus closed, and the midnight ghost,
C#?         C#m         Ab
Comin' out as lights go down.

C#m                  Ab
Old and tired clown, no one is around,
C#?        C#m   Ab
Staring at the mirror


        A       B            Abm
He said oh, the show must go on,
      A                 Fm         B
Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone


C#m          Ab     A       B   C#m
Clown in the mirror glitter and scars.
           A            B           C#m   A B
Here's the pleasure and pain look as one
C#m          Ab     A       B   C#m
Clown in the mirror touchin' the stars,
     A          B           C#m
he's flyin' his dream to the sun


C#m
What a mask can say?
Ab
Cry the night away!
C#?            C#m         Ab
Askin' mirror - "tell me how long?"
C#m                        Ab
Wrigglin' all those years, through the laugher's tears,
C#?            C#m       Ab
Don't believe in hearts of stone



        A       B            Abm
He said oh, the show must go on,
      A                 Fm         B
Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone oh


C#m          Ab     A       B   C#m
Clown in the mirror glitter and scars.
           A            B           C#m
Here's the pleasure and pain look as one, yeah!
C#m          Ab     A       B   C#m
Clown in the mirror touchin' the stars,
     A          B           C#m
he's flyin' his dream to the sun


E                      C#m/Eb
But the sun will rise, evil took the prize,
E7/D           A
Something will remind you
Dm       Am            Dm            Am    F#7
Sign of disgrace - the paint on your face
