The Last Clown

Lyrics

🎵 Last Clown Standing (Oldies Rock Ballad Style – Key of G) ⸻ Intro | G | Em | C | D | ⸻ Verse 1 | G | Em | It’s so hard being the last clown, | C | D | With the laughter fading low. | G | Em | Painted smile can’t hide the sorrow, | C | D | G | Underneath the lights that go. | C | G | The tent is empty, the crowd is gone, | C | D | And I’m left here all alone. | G | Em | The show is over, the dream has passed, | C | D | G | Now the spotlight has moved on. ⸻ Chorus | Em | Bm | Nobody knows the hurt I feel, | C | G | Behind these tears I try to conceal. | Em | Bm | When the laughter’s gone, when the crowd moves on, | C | D | G | I’m the last clown standing strong. ⸻ Verse 2 | G | Em | I juggled pain, I swallowed pride, | C | D | Hid my heart so well inside. | G | Em | But the circus left, and the music died, | C | D | G | Now there’s nowhere left to hide. | C | G | The balloon has popped, the joke’s been told, | C | D | I’m just a ghost in the ring of old. | G | Em | The world moved on, but here I stay, | C | D | G | With a painted face of yesterday. ⸻ Bridge | Em | Bm | I’m off to the puzzle factory, | C | G | I had a good run… | Em | Bm | But it’s the end of the story, | C | D | G | And there’s no more fun. ⸻ Chorus – reprise | Em | Bm | Nobody knows the hurt I feel, | C | G | Behind these scars that never heal. | Em | Bm | When the laughter’s gone, when the lights fade down, | C | D | G | I’m just a clown… without a town. ⸻ Outro (soft, fading) | G | Em | It’s so hard being the last clown, | C | D | With the laughter fading low. | G | Em | Nobody knows the hurt I feel… | C | D | G | When the laughter is over.
