(A minor)
Verse 1
My (A minor) landlady treats me like
I don't pay my rent
Gave my car to my mechanic,
I ain't seen it since
My phone is always ringing,
when I want to be alone
They try and sell me everything
from Heaven to cologne
Every (D major) body's (D minor) got
an offer I (D major) can't refuse
(A minor) (E major) It's a circus out here mama,
Your baby's got the sideshow (A minor) blues

Verse 2
It's (A minor) all a big commercial; It's
a video of a man
It's a plot to put an end
to my attention span
They make up all these issues,
I never understood
If I thought I could change things
I'd run out to Hollywood
But it's (D major) hard to (D minor) kick the door down
(D major) wearing seven (A minor) dollar shoes
It's a cir (E major) cus out here mama,
Your baby's got the sideshow (A minor) blues
Verse 3
I've got them sideshow (D minor) blues
I want to tame the (D major) lions
These (A minor) center ring rich kids
ain't even trying
From (D minor) college to the big top they
(D major) take the be (D minor) st pos (D major) itions
While (E major) I'm out in this tent with
these freaks and musicians
While I'm out in this tent with
these freaks and musicians
I'm moaning them sideshow
(A minor) blues

Verse 4
I try (A minor) to tell my girlfriend (E major) she's
(A minor) the only one that I've got
This chick I hardly knows keeps
on telling her she's not
(C major) She (A minor) 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 (D minor) that's the way she sees it,
she says she saw it (D major) on the (A minor) news
It's a cir (E major) cus out here mama,
Your baby's got the sideshow (A minor) blues
Verse 5
See people play (A minor) satanic record (E major) s,
and (A minor) you don't know when they'll freak
From quiet (E major) kid to maniac to
(A minor) movie (E major) of the week (A minor)
We're killing over cocaine,
dying over sex
We're bowing down and praying
to who'll ever cuts the check
When I (D minor) go to church on Sunday,
I can't help sleep (D major) in the (A minor) pews (that's what I do)
It's a cir (E major) cus out here mama,
Your baby's got the sideshow (A minor) blues
It's a cir (E major) cus out here mama,
Your baby's got the sideshow (A minor) blues
It's a cir (E major) cus out here mama,
Your baby's got the sideshow (A minor) blues
It's a (E major) circus people...Step Right (A minor) Up
