Verse 1:
()
Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you
/maj7
Everybody laughs at the things that I say and do
They all laugh when they see me comin'
But you don't laugh, you just go home runnin'
()
Everybody loves a clown, so why can't you
A clown has feelings, too
Verse 2:
I joke around at a party when you are there
But you don't laugh, you don't look, you just don't care
If you wonder why this clown is cryin'
Look a little closer, inside I'm dyin'
It's not easy to be in love, you see
When you're a clown like me

Verse 3:
()
I don't know how to say that I love you
/maj7
'Cause you would smile and say, tell a joke or two
Yes, I'm a clown, but I don't wanna be
Why can't you see the other side of me
()
Guess I'll be the guy who plays the part
[N..]
Of a clown with a broken heart
Coda [repeat to fade]:
Dreamin' of your love and not knowin' where to start
