Standard (EADGBE)

I guess it's funnier from where you're standing

'Cause from over here I've missed the joke

Cleared the way for my crash landing

I've done it again, another number for your notes

I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate

I'd be patient if I had the time

I could stop and answer all of your questions

As soon as I find out how I could move from the back of the line

 So I'll be your clown

 Behind the glass

 Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny

 I would too if I saw me

 I'll be your clown

 On your favorite channel

 My life's a circus-circus rounding circles

 I'm selling out tonight

I'd be less angry if it was my decision

And the money was just rolling in

If I had more than my ambition

 I'll have time to please

 I'll have time to thank you as soon as I win

 So I'll be your clown

 Behind the glass

 Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny

 I would too if I saw me

 I'll be your clown

 On your favorite channel

 My life's a circus-circus rounding circles

 I'm selling out tonight

Bridge

From a distance my choice is simple

From a distance I can entertain

So you can see me I put makeup on my face

 But there's no way you can feel it

 From so far away

 So I'll be your clown

 Behind the glass

 Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny

 I would too if I saw me

 I'll be your clown

 On your favorite channel

 My life's a circus-circus rounding circles

 I'm selling out tonight
