Now if there's a smile on my face,
it's only there tryin' to fool the public,
but when it comes down to foolin' you
Now honey, that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad

but ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown
nc
when there's no one around
Now if I appear to be carefree,
it's only to camouflage my sadness
In order to keep my pride
I try to cover the hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
that I've been happy since you decided to go
Oh, I need you so I'm hurt and I want you to know
Now there's some sad things known to man,
but ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown
when there's no one around
You can improvise a solo here.....I think it's played up towards the 12 and 15th frets.
Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in a lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown When there's noone around,
oh yeah, baby baby Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear Make you think that I don't care
Cos really I'm sad
