[Verse 1]
         C
Here's a plain simple song, without much to say
    C                      F
For times when plain circumstance
C                     C/B   Am
Finds me with someone whose world is all wrong
        F                           G7
So they feel like they don't have a chance
     C
It's alright to learn from the times you're a fool
       C                         F
But it don't pay to dwell on the past
C                  C/B Am
Sometimes I think, I'm really a clown
            G7
But there's plenty of time left for that

[Chorus]
     F
The sun's goin' down on the midway tonight
    C                          Am
The red stripes are turning to grey
        F
But old Emmett's still out in the big top tonight
G7                      C
Sweeping the spotlight away

[Instrumental]
|C     |C  / C/B |Am7    |C/G     |
|F     |F/G      |C      |C/G     |

[Verse 2]
         C
Here's a song for the rain on the trash can lids
        C                                F
And the nights when there ain't much to do
         C
Here's a song for the face
     C/B Am
That it  sometimes seems
       F                          G7
People always tell their troubles to
    C
You might see a trace of a greasepaint face
   C                 F
On everyone comin' around
          C            C/B    Am
Don't you always laugh with a tear in your eye
         G7
When you laugh at a sad-faced clown

[Chorus]
     F
The sun's goin' down on the midway tonight
    C                          Am
The red stripes are turning to grey
        F
But old Emmett's still out in the big top tonight
G7                      C
Sweeping the spotlight away

[Instrumental]
|C     |C  / C/B |Am7    |C/G     |
|F     |F/G      |C      |C/G     |

[Verse 3]
    C
Somewhere there's a child that everyone hides
  C                           F
A prisoner that longs to be free
C              C/B  Am
Boys and girls in a fantasy world
      F                           G7
But I guess I'm just talkin' for me
      C
But I feel him there, behind me somewhere
         C                            F
When the streetlights reflect in the rain
    C                    C/B Am
The sad-faced clown with his mouth turned down
G7
Sweeping the spotlight away

[Chorus]
     F
The sun's goin' down on the midway tonight
    C                          Am
The red stripes are turning to grey
        F
But old Emmett's still out in the big top tonight
G7                      C
Sweeping the spotlight away

[Outro]
