verse 1

A D G

If there's a smile on my face,

D A D G

it's only there trying to fool the public

D A D G

But when it comes down to fooling you,

D A D G

now honey that's quite a different subject

D A D G D A D G

Don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression

D A D G D A D

Really I'm sad, oh sadder than sad

G D A D

You're gone and I'm hurting so bad

G D A D G D

Like a clown I pretend to be glad

chorus

E C#/F

Now there's some sad things known to man

F#m D (play intro riff)

But ain't too much saddre than the tears of a clown

When there's no one around

verse 2

If I appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

in order to shield my pride I try

To cover this hurt as a show of gladness

But don't let my show convince you that I've been happy since you

Decided to go, oh I need you so

I'm hurt and I want you to know, but for others I put on a show

verse 3

Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my sadness hid

Smiling in the public eye, but in my lonesome room i cry

The tears of a clown
