(x2)
[Verse 1]
C
Here's a plain simple song, without much to say
C F
For times when plain circumstance
C C/B Am
Finds me with someone whose world is all wrong
F G7
So they feel like they don't have a chance
C
It's alright to learn from the times you're a fool
C F
But it don't pay to dwell on the past
C C/B Am
Sometimes I think, I'm really a clown
G7
But there's plenty of time left for that
[Chorus]
F
The sun's goin' down on the midway tonight
C Am
The red stripes are turning to grey
F
But old Emmett's still out in the big top tonight
G7 C
Sweeping the spotlight away
[Instrumental]
|C |C / C/B |Am7 |C/G |
|F |F/G |C |C/G |
[Verse 2]
C
Here's a song for the rain on the trash can lids
C F
And the nights when there ain't much to do
C
Here's a song for the face
C/B Am
That it sometimes seems
F G7
People always tell their troubles to
C
You might see a trace of a greasepaint face
C F
On everyone comin' around
C C/B Am
Don't you always laugh with a tear in your eye
G7
When you laugh at a sad-faced clown
[Chorus]
F
The sun's goin' down on the midway tonight
C Am
The red stripes are turning to grey
F
But old Emmett's still out in the big top tonight
G7 C
Sweeping the spotlight away
[Instrumental]
|C |C / C/B |Am7 |C/G |

(x2)
[Verse 3]
C
Somewhere there's a child that everyone hides
C F
A prisoner that longs to be free
C C/B Am
Boys and girls in a fantasy world
F G7
But I guess I'm just talkin' for me
C
But I feel him there, behind me somewhere
C F
When the streetlights reflect in the rain
C C/B Am
The sad-faced clown with his mouth turned down
G7
Sweeping the spotlight away
[Chorus]
F
The sun's goin' down on the midway tonight
C Am
The red stripes are turning to grey
F
But old Emmett's still out in the big top tonight
G7 C
Sweeping the spotlight away
