Standard (EADGBE)

Verse one

Say how's the weather, so I look out the window

 To brighten my soul, but I can't control the rain

 That keeps falling.

Smile on the outside that never comes in

 A comedy, mystery, irony, tragedy

 So I scream, "Let the show begin"

(chorus)

(do, do do do do do do before chorus and after you break me open)

You break me open, turn on the light

Stumble inside with me with me

Verse two

Do I entertain you

Do I preoccupy you, with my wit to cover this lie

 Are you mesmerized

 Do you think me faithful, or do you think me a clown

 I picked out this shirt, put on this hat

 I wore all this paint just for you

(goes back into chorus after a few bars of do do do do do do do)
