Verse 1:
 
Am D G
I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
Am D G
'Cause from over here I've missed the joke
Am D G
Cleared the way for my crash landing
Am D G
I've done it again, another number for your notes
 
Verse 2:
 
Am D G
I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
Am D G
I'd be patient if I had the time
Am D G
I could stop and answer all of your questions
Am D G
As soon as I find out how I could move from the back of the line
 
[Refrão]
G
So I'll be your clown
Em
Behind the glass
Am
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
C D
I would too if I saw me
G
I'll be your clown
Em
On your favorite channel
Am
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
C D
I'm selling out tonight
 
Verse 3:
 
I'd be less angry if it was my decision
And the money was just rolling in
If I had more than my ambition
I'll have time to please
I'll have time to thank you as soon as I win
 
CHORUS
 
Bridge:
 
Am D G
From a distance my choice is simple
Am D G
From a distance I can entertain
Am D Em
So you can see me I put makeup on my face
F C
But there's no way you can feel it
D
From so far away
 
CHORUS
