VERSE 1:
[B] People [E] say I'm the [E] life of the [F#] party
Be-[B]-cause I tell a [E] joke or two [/E/D#/C#/B]
Although I [B] might be [E] laughing [E] loud and [F#] hearty
[B] Deep in-[E]-side I'm blue [/E/D#/C#/B]

CHORUS:
So take a [B] good [E] look at my [E] face [F#]
You'll see my [B] smile [E] looks out of [E] place [F#]
If you look [B] closer, it's [E] easy to [E] trace [F#]
The tracks of my [B] tears [E] [/E/D#/C#/B]
I need you [E] (need [B] you), need you [E] (need [B] you)

VERSE 2:
[B] Since you [E] left me if you [E] see me with an-[F#]-other girl
[B] Seeming like I'm [E] having fun [/E/D#/C#/B]
Although she [B] may be [E] cute, she's just a [E] substi-[F#]-tute
[B] Cause you're the [E] permanent one [/E/D#/C#/B]

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
[E] [B] Ooh [E] yeah [B]
Out-[E]-side [B], I'm masque-[E]-rading [B]
In-[E]-side [B], my hope is [E] fading [B]
Just a [E] clown [B], ooh since you [E] put me [B] down
My [E] smile is my make up, I wear since my break up with [F#] you

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
