Clown - Emeli Sandé - chords and lyrics




Emeli Sandé - Clown


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

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 can move from the back of the line


CHORUS:
                G
I'll be your clown
                Em
Behind the glass
                      Am
Go ahead 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, 'round in circles
      C              D
I'm selling out tonight


Am             D                         G
  I'd be less angry if it was my decision
Am          D                               G
  And the money was just rolling in
Am         D                       G
  If I had more than my ambition
                         Am                
I'll have time for please
                         D                                G
I'll have time for thank you as soon as I win

CHORUS:
                G
I'll be your clown
                Em
Behind the glass
                      Am
Go ahead 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, 'round in circles
      C              D
I'm selling out tonight


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:
                G
I'll be your clown
               Em
Behind the glass
                     Am
Go ahead 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, 'round in circles
      C              D
I'm selling out tonight
