John Gorka - Carnival Knowledge (Second Hand Face)
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C
"I've never done it", said the circus clown
"See, this is really my nose
I ran away back in junior high
F Dm
Got this job and these clothes"
G G-Am
You know I started out an altar boy
G F Dm
So that retarded me some
G G-F
I've been saving up and down for years
G C F
To have the surgery done
C
I had a chance once with the popcorn girl
F
'Til her father stopped that
Dm
He said he'd give me holes I didn't need
G C
A certain knife-throwing act
CHORUS:
I'll roll my quarters and I'll roll my dimes
'Til I am out of this place
F
You may know someone who would want my job
G C
And a second hand face
INTERLUDE: C F G C
I know a doctor who can do the job
Back in our winter town
It's slow to save what, on this salary
F Dm
With so much competition around
G
It got so bad, I just didn't try no more
Am G F Dm
A heatless, low head of esteem
G G-F
I have to settle for the pay-per-views
G C F
And the occasional dream
C
The smile I've got is one that's painted on
F
I could paint one on you
Dm
I just can't sell myself to pay for love
G C
Like the other clowns do
CHORUS:
I'll roll my quarters and I'll roll my dimes
'Til I am out of this place
F
You may know someone who would want my job
G C F
And a second hand face
G C F
And a second hand face
G C
And a second hand face
