I took my heart ...to every party,
D7/4                                              Gm                                                      Gm/F

Their funny man            ....won't let them down,
                        Bb                                                 Bbm6  
No, I'd dance and prance, and be their clown,
                F/C                            C                         C7         Gm/F                                      F

The clown      ...turned a - round,
                                Cm                                                      D7                 D7/4  
And saw her smile,      ...oh, how she loved me,
                                          Gm                                      Gm/F  
She'd clap her hands, and beg me stay,

To make her laugh, to make her life gay,

Who wants the love              ...of all the world,

But, oh, how I dreamed,                 a marvelous dream,
                  F7                         Bb                    Bb7+              Bb  
Where all of the heavens, or so it had seemed,
                  Am7                              Gm7                                                                    C  
With thunderous ap - plause, looked down from a - bove,
                C                      Am      Am7                      Dm      Dm7  
On a clown and an angel so much in love,
                                                  Gm7                                                      C  
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream,

The joke turned stale,    ...the game was over,

Had lost its mask, and shown a broken heart,
     F/C                              C                      C7         Gm/F                                         F
