Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you? 
D         F#m           D        F#m     A A7 G A7 
Everybody laughs at the things I say and do. 
Em                       F#m 
They all laugh when they see me comin', 
    G                         A 
but you don't laugh, you just go home runnin'. 
D         F#m     D         F#m       D 
Everybody loves a clown, so why can't you? 
  G         A         D   F#m G A 
A clown has feelings, too. 

#2. 
D      F#m         D          F#m     D    F#m D F#m 
I joke around at a party when you are there. 
    D         F#m              D         F#m        A  A7 G A7 
But you don't laugh, you don't look, you just don't care. 
Em                     F#m 
If you wonder why this clown is cryin', 
G                       A 
look a little closer, inside I'm dyin'. 
D        F#m     D     F#m       D  F#m 
It's not easy to be in love, you see, 
     G        A          D   F#m Bb A 
when you're a clown like me.

Eb      Gm          Eb       Gm      Eb Gm Eb Gm

      Eb        Gm        Eb                   A# A#7 G# A# 
cause you would smile and say, 'Tell a joke or two.' 
     Fm                      Gm 
Yes, I'm a clown but I don't wanna be,

why can't you see the other side of me? 
Eb         Gm     Eb      Gm        Eb  Gm 
Guess I'll be the guy who plays the part, 
     G#           A#     Eb   C 
of a clown with a broken heart.. 
G#                        A#                   Eb  Gm G# A# 
Dreamin' of your love and not knowing where to start.
