Chords- C#m F# A G#
C#m
Sweeping the floors, open up the doors
F#
Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
A
Nobody's romancing because it's too early for dancing
G#
But here comes the music
C#m
Bright lights flashing to cover up your lack of soul
F#
Many people, so many problems, so many reasons
A
To buy a round drink it down
G#
Just another night on the town
C#m
With the big man, moneyman, better than the other man
F#
He got the plan with the million-dollar give a damn
A
When nobody understands he'll become a smaller man
G#m
The bright lights keep flashing, the women keep on dancing
C#m G#m
With the clowns, they pick me up when I'm down

The rodeo clowns, they pick me up when I'm down
Then it repeats this sequence with only the lyrics changing
