G Am G Am   [Verse 1] G                      Am She`ll fix you with an iron cross G                     Am And cover you up with petals G                         Am And hang you up with some amber beads G                         Am And four or five precious metals G                    Am And in that black flamingo chair G                    Am You`ll sit among her trophies G              Am And pray to be abandoned G                        Am Till you don`t know what hope is   [Chorus] G               C            Em            Am But there`s one thing that I had to keep inside G             C Because I was shaking     Em                 Am Why don`t you get some pride             Em There was a clown strike Em And the clowns threw down their tools         C But you don`t have to play so hard Em And I`m nobody`s fool           G             Am7 You don`t have to go so far           G   Am7        G Am7 `Cause I love you as you are   [Verse 2]     G            Am The big top is deserted now         G           Am And the circus girl rehearses G                Am She knows how to turn their heads     G               Am And not fall between two horses     G                Am But all that seems a simple step G              Am If only I were able    G               Am To love you like I want to do     G                 Am And not by some times table   [Chorus] G               C            Em            Am But there`s one thing that I had to keep inside G             C Because I was shaking     Em                 Am Why don`t you get some pride             Em There was a clown strike Em And the clowns threw down their tools         C But you don`t have to play so hard Em And I`m nobody`s fool           G             Am7 You don`t have to go so far           G   Am7        G Am7 `Cause I love you as you are   [Refrain]          C And it`s pandemonium         Am7            G For the humble and the mighty           Am      G/B    C You don`t have to tumble for me Cm                         Em Even a clown knows when to strike   [Verse 3] G                Am Tell me what you want of me            G            Am Or are you terrified of failure? G                  Am You put on a superstitious face G                       Am Behind all this paraphernalia G                     Am We`re not living in a masquerade       G                   Am Where you only have three wishes G        Am It isn't easy to see      G                    Am In a lifetime of mistaken kisses   [Chorus] G               C            Em            Am But there`s one thing that I had to keep inside G             C Because I was shaking     Em                 Am Why don`t you get some pride             Em There was a clown strike Em And the clowns threw down their tools         C But you don`t have to play so hard Em And I`m nobody`s fool           G             Am7 You don`t have to go so far           G   Am7        G Am7 `Cause I love you as you are   [Refrain]              C In this it`s pandemonium         Am7            G For the humble and the mighty           Am      G/B    C You don`t have to tumble for me Cm                         Em Even a clown knows when to strike
