Tiger Lillies - Clown

   Bm               E
My whole life it is misery
   Bm               E    
My whole life it is grief
    Bm                 E
The face-paint it just hides my soul
   Bm          E
My life is a deceit

   Am            Dm
My makeup lies redundant now
Am                  Dm
  Between my canvas walls
Am                    Dm
The lip rouge and the face-paint
    Am           Dm  
Are no longer on call

       Am           Dm
And my photographs
Am                 Dm
They're all fading fast
Am                     Dm
  The children are all adults now
    Am                     Dm
And their memories did not last

Am                     Dm      
  Well, no one really laughed at me
       Am               Dm
Just a clown who is now dead
       Am          Dm
And my suicide, my suicide, 
Am                Dm
  My suicide note read:

   Bm          E
My life it was a misery
   Bm              E
My life it was all grief
        Bm         E
And the face-paint hides my soul
   Bm            E
My life is a deceit

          Am                 Dm
Well, the blood has darkened now
     Am         Dm 
Upon my suicide note
    Am          Dm
And I lie in my paupers grave
Am                  Dm
  Along with my cut throat

       Bm                E
And my whole life it was misery
       Bm                E
And my whole life it was grief
        Bm                 E
And the face-paint it just hides my soul
   Bm             E    Am
My whole life was a deceit
