F5 
Before you drop the final curtain 
G5                           C5 
Before the big tower crashes down 
           C5                 F5 
Before you pack away my trunk case 
G5                       C5  
I'd like to take a final bounce 
         C5                 F5 
One last chance to hear the laughter 
G5                              C5     C5  A5 
And see your face there in the crowd 
A5                     F5 
One last moment in the spotlight 
G5                          C5  
One last chance to be your clown 
 
Chorus 1: 
                                F5 
I guess you're tired of walking tightropes 
G5                          C5 
Hope setting up and tearing down 
           C5               D5  
You want a place to call forever 
G5                           A5     A5   F5 
And rest your feet on solid ground 
                                    F5       F5 
Somewhere you've lost that sense of wonder 
                               C5     C5  A5 
But that's still the place I'm bound 
A5                       F5 
I'm a storm in search of thunder 
G5                         C5 
I'm just a circus leaving town 
 
 
Once we could fill the room with laughter 
And fill each other's hearts with joy 
Through each trial and disaster 
Still we cling to our choice 
To take a path of one for giving 
A road that waits for no one 
You know we chose to keep on living 
Lord, tell me where did we go wrong 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
I guess you're tired of walking tightropes 
Hope setting up and tearing down 
You want a place to call forever 
And rest your feet on solid ground 
Don't try to break this spell I?m under 
Oh stop these wheels from spinning around 
I'm a storm in search of thunder 
Yes, I'm just a circus leaving town 
 
 
Tag: 
Some day you'll wake up a wonder 
And your heart will start to pound 
And you'll long for the fonder 
And the kiss is of the clown
