Em
Silence please 'cos I've got something to say
        E7sus4
And I'm going round in circles every day
    Am               G6         Fmaj7
The more I shout the more I hesitate
         C
Now that you're gone
         G
Now that you're gone

Stand up please til I'm done losing my mind
And I've thanked you all just one too many times
The more we fall, the harder we must climb
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone

Chorus:
     Fmaj7      C              G6
Cos' everybody loves a circus show
    Fmaj7          C                 G6
But I'm the only clown you'll ever know
    Fmaj7                          Am  G
And now you can applaud my best mistake
Fmaj7                            G6    C
I love you was too many words to say, to say

Silence please 'cause I've got something to say
And before the music takes you all away
I never thought I'd leave it all so late
Now that you're gone, Oh you're gone

Chorus:
Yeah, everybody loves a circus show
But I'm the only clown you'll ever know
And now you can applaud my best mistake
I love you was too many words to say
I love you was too many words to say, to say

  Am                G6              Fmaj7
I never thought I'd leave it all so late
          C
Now that you're gone
    G
Oh you're gone

Chorus:
Yeah, everybody loves a circus show
But I'm the only clown you'll ever know
And now you can applaud my best mistake
I love you was too many words to say
I love you was too many words to say, to say
