Sideshow Blues

• A

Occasionally on the A chord he does this: 
 
 
A 
My landlady treats me like I don't pay my rent  
A 
Gave my car to my mechanic, I ain't seen it since  
A 
My phone is always ringing, when I want to be alone  
A 
They try and sell me everything from Heaven to cologne  
     D                             A 
Everybody's got an offer I can't refuse  
         E                                                  A 
It's a circus out here mama, Your baby's got the sideshow blues  
 
  
A 
It's all a big commercial; It's a video of a man  
A 
It's a plot to put an end to my attention span  
A 
They make up all these issues, I never understood  
A 
If I thought I could change things I'd run out to Hollywood  
          D                                                A 
But it's hard to kick the door down wearing seven dollar shoes  
         E                                                  A 
It's a circus out here mama, Your baby's got the sideshow blues  
 
  
                 D 
I've got them sideshow blues  
           D 
I want to tame the lions  
        A 
These center ring rich kids ain't even trying  
        D 
From college to the big top they take the best positions  
           E 
While I'm out in this tent with these freaks and musicians  
           E 
While I'm out in this tent with these freaks and musicians  
                            A 
I'm moaning them sideshow blues  
 
 (solo)  
 
I try to tell my girlfriend she's the only one that I've got  
This chick I hardly knows keeps on telling her she's not  
She got a loaded pistol, she waves it all the time  
Says some times you gotta kill a boy to keep his ass in line  
Well that's the way she sees it, she says she saw it on the news  
It's a circus out here mama, Your baby's got the sideshow blues  
  
 
See people play satanic records, and you don't know when they'll freak  
From quiet kid to maniac to movie of the week  
We're killing over cocaine, dying over sex  
We're bowing down and praying to who'll ever cuts the check  
When I go to church on Sunday, I can't help sleep in the pews (that's what I do)  
It's a circus out here mama, Your baby's got the sideshow blues  
It's a circus out here mama, Your baby's got the sideshow blues  
It's a circus out here mama, Your baby's got the sideshow blues  
It's a circus people...Step Right Up
