Standard (EADGBE)

 intro riff x 2 (notes:-----; -----a)

Verse 1

People say I'm the life of the party

(d--- walk down lick)

Cause I tell a joke or two

 All though I might be laughing loud and hearty

Deep inside I'm blue

Chorus

 So take a good look at my face

 You know my smile looks out of place

 If you look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears

 Oh, I need you (need you) need you (need you)

Verse 2

Since you left me if you see me with another guy

lookin' like I'm havin' fun

Although he might be cute, he's just a substitute

because...you're the permanent one

Bridge

 (Out-side) I'm masqueradin'

 (In-side) My heart's a-fadin'

 (I'm just a clown) since you put me down

My smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you

repeat Chorus
