Now, if there's a smile up..on my face,
B Gb Db Gb B
It's only there trying to fool the public.
Gb Db
But when it comes down to fooling you,
B Gb Db Gb B
Now, honey that's quite a different subject.
#2.
Gb Db Gb B
Don't let my glad expression,
Gb Db Gb B
Give you the wrong impression.
Gb Db Gb B Gb
really I'm sad.......Oh, I'm sadder than sad.
Db Gb B Gb Db
You're gone and I'm hurting so bad,
Gb B Gb Db Gb B
Like a clown I appear to be glad..
CHORUS:
Gb Ab F
Now, they're some sad things known to man,
Bbm
but ain't too much sadder than,
Gbmaj7 Db Db Gb Db
the tears of a clown, when there's no one around.
#3.
Now if I appear to be carefree,
It's only to camouflage my sadness.
And Honey to shield my pride I try,
to cover this hurt with a show of gladness.
But don't let my show convince you,
that I've been happy since you, decided to go.
I need you so, I'm hurt and I want you to know,
but for others I put on a show...
CHORUS:
B Gb Db Gb B Db
Now, if I appear just like Pagliacci did,
Db Gb B Gb
I try to keep my sadness hid.
Db Gb B Gb
Smiling in the public eye, but in my
Db Gb B Gb Db
lonely room I cry, the tears of a clown,
Db Gb Db
when there's no one around.
#4.
Now if there's a smile on my face,
don't let my glad expression,
give you the wrong impression.
Don't let this smile I wear,
make you think that I don't care...
