Well I    don't know why I came here tonight - 
          C                                            
I got the    feeling that something ain't right
       F7*                                               
I'm so      scared in case I fall off my chair
        C                                              
And I'm    wondering how I'll get down the stairs

    Clowns to the left of me -    Jokers to the    right,

         C                                              
And I'm    wondering what it is I should do
        F7                                              
It's so     hard to keep this smile from my face
             C*                                         
Losing con -     trol, yeah, I'm all over the place

           F7                                C*

       C*                                                
I can     see that it makes no sense at all
      F7                                                
Is it     cool to go to sleep on the floor
        C*
