C7 - X32310


                          F
Before you drop the final curtain
G                           C
Before the big tower crashes down
           C7                 F
Before you pack away my trunk case
G                       C 
I'd like to take a final bow
         C7                 F
One last chance to hear the laughter
G                              C     C/B  Am
And see your face there in the crowd
Am                     F
One last moment in the spotlight
G                          C 
One last chance to be your clown


Chorus 1:
                                F
I guess you're tired of walking tightropes
G                          C
Hope setting up and tearing down
           C7               Dm 
You want a place to call forever
G                           Am     Am/G   F
And rest your feet on solid ground
                                    F       Fm
Somewhere you've lost that sense of wonder
                               C     C/B  Am
But that's still the place I'm bound
Am                       F
I'm a storm in search of thunder
G                         C
I'm just a circus leaving town


Once we could fill the room with laughter
And fill each other's hearts with joy
Through each trial and disaster
Still we cling to our choice
To take a path of one for giving
A road that waits for no one
You know we chose to keep on living
Lord, tell me where did we go wrong


Chorus 2:
I guess you're tired of walking tightropes
Hope setting up and tearing down
You want a place to call forever
And rest your feet on solid ground
Don't try to break this spell I’m under
Oh stop these wheels from spinning around
I'm a storm in search of thunder
Yes, I'm just a circus leaving town


Tag:
Some day you'll wake up a wonder
And your heart will start to pound
And you'll long for the fonder
And the kiss is of the clown
