A                                     C#m
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
          Bm            E                  A  A (break)  E
Cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her
       A                                        C#m
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
          Bm               E             A A (break) E
While she danced without a net up on the wire


Refrain:

  F#m                            C#m
I know a lot about her cause you see
Bm         Bm7            E
Baby is an awful lot like me


Chorus:

A     E/G#    F#m  /E
Don't cry out loud
             Bm Bm+M7
Just keep it inside
             Bm7         E
Learn how to hide your feelings

A     E/G#    F#m  /E
Fly high and proud
                  Bm Bm+M7
And if you should fall
              Bm7   E      F#m E
Remember you almost had it all


A                                        C#m                      
Baby saw that when they put that big top down
     Bm              E                A A (break) E
They left behind her dreams among the letter

   A                                         C#m
The different kind of love she thought she'd found
        Bm               E                 A A (break) E
There's nothing left but saw dust and some glitter


Refrain:

    F#m                            C#m
But baby can't be broken cause you see
    Bm             Bm7              E
She had the finest teacher that was me

I told her...
