Emeli Sande - Clown

[Verse 1]

Am D G

I guess it's funnier from where you're standing

Am D G

'Cause from over here I've missed the joke

Am D Em

Cleared the way for my crash landing

Am D G

I've done it again, another number for your notes

[Verse 2]

Am D G

I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate

Am D G

I'd be patient if I had the time

Am D Em

I could stop and answer all of your questions

Am D G

As soon as I find out how I could move from the back of the line

[Chorus]

So I'll be your clown

Cmaj7

Behind the glass

Am Am/G

Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
