Intro: 

G  D  A  (2x)


A
Everybody get your ticket, it’s almost time
D
To set up this freak show and watch me unwind
        G                            D                      A
For the next ninety minutes we’ll be havin’ the time of our lives
A
I might sing something pretty if I’m feeling loved
        D
I might kick out the footlights if I drink too much
             G                      D                     A
I’ll give it all that I have hoping this time it might be enough
          Em      A     D    A     G       D
‘Til they pack up my guitars and unplug my star


Chorus:

      Em           G          A
Oh, a ringmaster’s night gets lonely
G         D             A
After the big top comes down
             G         D         A
Yeah, ‘cause I go from being somebody
         Bm           D
To just another clown
                       A
When the circus leaves town


          A
Well it’s cold, dark and empty back in my cage
         D
And it’s all wasted hours ‘til I’m back on stage
         G                           D               A
And it’s scary sometimes what I will do to pass them away
          Em   A       D      A            G           D
You learn live for the lights when they’re keeping you alive


Chorus:

      Em           G          A
Oh, a ringmaster’s night gets lonely
G         D             A
After the big top comes down
             G         D         A
Yeah, ‘cause I go from being somebody
         Bm           D
To just another clown
                       Em  G  A   G  D  A 
When the circus leaves town


Chorus:

      Em           G          A
Oh, a ringmaster’s night gets lonely
G         D             A
After the big top comes down
          G         D         A
Yeah, and I go from being somebody
                Bm  A  D
To just another clown
                       A
When the circus leaves town


Outro:

G  D                         A    G  D  A
      When the circus leaves town
G  D                   A    G  D  A  
      I’m leaving this town

G  D  A  (repeat and fade)
