Intro: BbVerse 1:
BbDm
Baby cried the day the circus came to town,
EbFEb - BbF
'Cause she didn't want parades just passing by her.
BbDm
So she painted on a smile and then took up with some clown,
EbFEb - Bb - Bb/A - Gm
While she danced without a net upon the wire.
Gm
I know a lot about her, 'cause you see,
CmF
Baby, is an awful lot like me.
Chorus:
BbBb/AGm
Don't cry out loud,
Cm - Bb
Just keep it inside,
EbF
And learn how to hide your feelings.
BbBb/AGm
Fly high and proud.
Cm - Cm/Bb
And if you should fall,
EbFAb - Bb
Remember you almost had it all.
Verse 2:(Same Chords)
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down,
They left behind her dreams among the litter.
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found,
There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter.
But Baby can't be broken, 'cause you see,
She had the finest teacher, that was me.
I told her...
(Chorus)
Gm - F - Eb - Bb/F - Gm
Ooh..oohh..oohh
EndingChorus: (1 Fret higher)
Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud.
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost made it.
Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud.
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it all.
