verse 1
LA RE SOL
If there's a smile on my face,
RE LA RE SOL
it's only there trying to fool the public
RE LA RE SOL
But when it comes down to fooling you,
RE LA RE SOL
now honey that's quite a different subject
RE LA RE SOL RE LA RE SOL
Don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression
RE LA RE SOL RE LA RE
Really I'm sad, oh sadder than sad
SOL RE LA RE
You're gone and I'm hurting so bad
SOL RE LA RE SOL RE
Like a clown I pretend to be glad
chorus
MI DO#/FA
Now there's some sad things known to man
F#m D (play intro riff)
But ain't too much saddre than the tears of a clown
When there's no one around
verse 2
If I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
in order to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt as a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you that I've been happy since you
Decided to go, oh I need you so
I'm hurt and I want you to know, but for others I put on a show
verse 3
Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my sadness hid
Smiling in the public eye, but in my lonesome room i cry
The tears of a clown
