[Intro]
Dmaj7 A#maj7 Dmaj7 A#maj7
Dmaj7 A#maj7 Dmaj7 A#maj7
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 A#maj7
No minor love can make the darkness right
Dmaj7 A#maj7
Alone, deserted by a warm spotlight
Dmaj7 A#maj7 A7 Dmaj7
I breathe the meaning of the words that I must need her
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 A#maj7
The colder seas of my sleeping mind
Dmaj7 A#maj7
Make muddy dreams until no peace I find
Dmaj7 A#maj7 A7 Dmaj7
Through Fields Elysian beg to see my life again, once again
[Chorus]
G Gm7 C7 Dmaj7 B7
And here I stand at last revealed a clown (revealed the clown) revealed the clown
Em A Dmaj7
And who can doubt this painted fool who walks upon this circus stage is just a clown?
A#maj7 Dmaj7
Is just a clown? Is just a clown
A#maj7
Is just a clown?
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7 A#maj7
No mind to colour now, no page to write
Dmaj7 A#maj7
Cold pools of morning stain the virgin white
Dmaj7 A#maj7 A7 Dmaj7
Another day without her love and I still need her
[Verse 4]
Dmaj7 A#maj7
And so the stage is set, the time is right
Dmaj7 A#maj7
And waves of laughter shake the gods tonight
Dmaj7 A#maj7 A7 Dmaj7
Another day will make a fool delight the children
[Chorus]
G Gm7 C7 Dmaj7 B7

And so I stand at last revealed a clown, revealed the clown

D7 G Gm7
Would ever walk where he might fall and gain the laughter of us all

Is just a clown?
