    C                      G          G7 
My makeup is dry and it cracks on my chin 
     F                      C          G 
I'm drowning my sorrows in whiskey and gin 
     C                         G       G7 
The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore

The lions they won't bite and the tigers won't roar

The old fortune-teller lies dead on the floor 
 F                      C      G 
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore 
 C                           G              G7

And frantically looking for runaway fleas
