D                    Am 
Found out this morning 
D                          Am 
There's a circus coming to town 
D                    Am 
They drive in Cadillacs 
D 
Using walkie-talkies, and the Secret Service 
A           D 
Their big top 
A              D 
Imitation of life 
E                           A 
And all the flags and microphones 
E                    A 
We have to cover our eyes 

D                  Am 
We play the sideshows 
D                      Am 
And we like the tunnel of love 
D                         Am 
And when we ride the ferris wheel 
D                         Am 
We're little children again 

E                                  A 
And when they're asking for volunteers 
E                           A 
We'll be the first ones aboard 
E                                  A 
And when the ringmaster calls our names 
E                          A   D       Am 
We'll be the first ones to go ... to sleep 
D                    Am 
Stealing all our dreams 
D              Am 
Dreams for sale 
D                      Am 
They sell 'em back to you 

D              Am 
On with the show 
D             Am 
Start the parade 
D            Am 
We sand along 
D            A  C  D 
Sweep us away 

 A                     D 
It's political party time 
           A             D 
Going down, going down 

                     A      
And the celebrities all come out 
D                A                        
Coming down, coming down, coming 

D                  Am 
The sun is going down 
D                            Am 
And the dogs are starting to howl 
D                   Am 
We stay out after dark 
D                    Am 
Eating cotton candy 
                    D 
And the music's playing 

D                A 
How we all laughed! 
D                A 
We split our sides 
D                A 
The cameras flashed 
D           A 
We almost died! 

Sigue D y A 

The rain's gonna pour on down, falling out of the sky 

Coming down, coming down 

And the celebrities all run out, and the rain's 

Coming down, coming down 

Gonna rain 

Gonna rain, gonna rain 

Gonna rain, gonna rain 

Rain, rain 

Rain, rain 

And now I wonder who's boss 

And who he's leavin' behind?
