You've been out too long

Ain't you got enough sense to go home

You're gonna end up alone

You need some love and understanding

Not that dead-end life you're planning

          Em

Street boy

             Em                          Am7

You go home but you can't stay

              Em                                              Am7

Because something's always pulling you away

                    Em                          Am7

Your fast hellos and quick goodbyes

                     Em

You're just a street boy

               Am7

With the streetlights in your eyes

You better get yourself together

D

Look for something better

Your sister says that every week

You just come home to eat and go to sleep

                      Em                          Am7

And you make plans you never keep

Because your mind is always in the streets

You better get yourself together

Look for something better

Street boy

There's one last word then I'll conclude

Before you pick up and put on your attitude

Bet you'll never find or ever meet

Any street boy who's ever beat the streets

Street boy

Street boy

Street boy

Street boy

Street boy

Street boy

Sweet boy

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
