Bm E Bm E
There's always a joker in the pack
Bm E Bm E
There's always a cardboard clown (alt: lonely clown)
Bm E Bm E
The poor painted fool falls on his back
D F#
And everyone laughs when he's down
Bm Em A D
There's always a funnyman in the game
G A D
But he's only funny by mistake
F G C
But everyone laughs at him, just the same
G F# NC
They don't see his painted heart break... they don't care as long as
Bm E Bm E
There is a jester, just a fool
Bm E Bm E
As foolish as he can be
Bm E Bm E
There's always a joker, that's the rule
D F#
But fate deals the hand and I see...
Bm E Bm E
The joker is me!
