AmC
Take me to the big show
E
Take me anywhere but here
AmC
Put me in the front row,
E
Make my problems disappear
AmC
Trapeze high wires,
E
Without a safety net
AmC
For the present admission,
E
I wanna witness life or death
AmEAmE
All the pretty girls get cut in half
AmEAmEAm
While the sad clowns make us laugh
DmAm
I wanna make friends with the freaks,
EAm
I wanna throw it down with the clowns that I meet,
DmAm
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
EAm
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
DmAm
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
E7E7E7E7
Invite all the carnies and the crazy acrobats and bearded ladies
E7E7 N.C,
And the fire breathers, all the people just like me.
AmC
Are you ready to risk it all,
E
And be a human cannon ball?
Am
Sharpen up those knives and throw em'
CE
At the fool against the wall,
E7E
We're all against that wall
DmAm
I wanna make friends with the freaks,
EAm
I wanna throw it down with the clowns that I meet,
DmAm
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
EAm
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
DmAm
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
E7E7E7E7
Invite all the carnies and the crazy acrobats and bearded ladies
E7E7 N.C,
And the fire breathers, all the people just like me.
(During the "Ladies and gentlemen..." part just play the following chords over and over)
AmE7AmE7AmE7FE
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, come one, come all to the Cirque dans
la rue! Check your troubles at the door, you don't need 'em anymore! Leave
reality outside, and come along for the ride, but just remember while you're
watching us, do the things that we do!
FGE
We're watching you!
