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

Emeli Sande - "Next To Me" (chords and lyrics)

This is where we first saw Emeli Sande (my computer won't type the ' on the e of her surname...) and my wife mentioned she "quite liked her singing voice" (note to self for Valentines Day...)

So, here are the chords and lyrics to "Next To Me" - easy peasy - Am - G - C - repeated throughout the song.

Am    G    C
Am    G    C
Am                                      G           C
You wont find him drinking under the table
Am                                G           C
Rolling dice and staying out till three
Am                                 G           C
You wont ever find him being unfaithful
Am                                G                   C
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Am                                      G                 C
You wont find him trying to change the devil
Am                                       G           C
For money, fame, for power out of greed
Am                                  G           C
You wont ever find him where the rest go
Am                                G                   C
You will find him you'll find him next to me


Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am                                G                   C
You will find him, you'll find him next to me

Am                                             G                          C
When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
Am                                      G                   C
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
Am                         G                     C
I know there's no need for me to panic
Am                             G                    C
Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
Am                                         G                        C
When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing
Am                                          G               C
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
Am                                   G                            C
(But) all I need is a hand to stop the tears from falling
Am                     G                   C
I will find him, I'll find him next to me




Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am                        G                   C
I  will find him, I'll find him next to me

Am                                              G                       C
When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
Am                                          G                  C
When we spoiled the land and dried up all the sea
Am                                         G                C
When everyone has lost their heads around us

Am                        G                   C
I  will find him, I'll find him next to me




Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am                        G                   C
I  will find him, I'll find him next to me

Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am                        G                   C
I  will find him, I'll find him next to me
