D Em7 G D

[Verse 1]
D               Em7
She works a job, I work another
F#m7                      G
Too rich to be broke, too broke to be covered
D
In case of an emergency
G        D/F#           Em7  A
Call God,tell him we're fine

D               Em7
Our first child just turned four
F#m7                      G
And I'm proud to say here comes one more
D
Wonder what we're gonna get
G        D/F#           Em7     A
Done with all of this free time

[Chorus]
Em7
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
        D
But the future ain't no joke
    A
The days just don't slow down
                 G              D
The punch line's funny till you choke
      Em7
And I keep my act sincere
      D
Happy faces in the crowd
A
Laughing through the tears
    G               Bm A
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown

[Verse 2]
D                    Em7
Sun every morning, a pie to the face
         F#m7                G
But this rat in the wheel is still in the race, hey
        D
There's no sweat keeping’ the
G                D/F#           Em7     A
pace when you're barely getting by

D                    Em7
I tend to bite off more than I can chew
     F#m7                 G
Just trying to fill these oversized shoes
          D
You can't lose those red nose
G      D/F#           Em7     A
blues, Lord, if you don't try

[Chorus]
Em7
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
        D
But the future ain't no joke
    A
The days just don't slow down
                 G              D
The punch line's funny till you choke
      Em7
And I keep my act sincere
      D
Happy faces in the crowd
A
Laughing through the tears
    G               Bm (Hold)
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown

[Bridge]
                   F#m
Straight outta the cannon into the dirt
        G           D/F#
Oh, but baby is the daisy
             Em           A
in the front pocket of my shirt

[Chorus]
Em7
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
        D
But the future ain't no joke
    A
The days just don't slow down
                 G              D
The punch line's funny till you choke
      Em7
And I keep my act sincere

Laughing through the tears
