John Gorka - Carnival Knowledge (Second Hand Face)
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C  
"I've never done it", said the circus clown
"See, this is really my nose
I ran away back in junior high
Got this job and these Fclothes"Dm  
                                    G  G-Am  
You know I started out an altar boy
So that reGtarded me FsomeDm  
                                       G  G-F  
I've been saving up and down for years
To have the Gsurgery CdoneF  
I had a chance once with the popcorn girlC  
'Til her father stopped thatF  
He said he'd give me holes I didn't needDm  
A certain knife-throwing GactC  
CHORUS:
I'll roll my quarters and I'll roll my dimes
'Til I am out of this place
You may know someone who would want my jobF  
And a Gsecond hand Cface
INTERLUDE:      C    F    G  C  
I know a doctor who can do the job
Back in our winter town
It's slow to save what, on this salary
With so much competition aFroundDm  
It got so bad, I just didn't Gtry no more
A Amheatless, low Ghead of esFteemDm  
                                      G  G-F  
I have to settle for the pay-per-views
And the ocGcasional CdreamF  
The smile I've got is one that's painted onC  
I could paint one on youF  
I just can't sell myself to pay for loveDm  
Like the other clowns GdoC  
CHORUS:
I'll roll my quarters and I'll roll my dimes
'Til I am out of this place
You may know someone who would want my jobF  
And a Gsecond hand CfaceF  
And a Gsecond hand CfaceF  
And a Gsecond hand Cface
