F/C  C   x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C                                      Em
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
             F            G                 G/B   C   G/B
'Cause she didn't want parades just passing  by  her
          C                                      Em
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
            F               G            G/B   C   G/B
While she danced without a net upon the wire
   Am                             G/B
I know alot about her, 'cause you see
Dm                         G
Baby, is an awful lot like me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C     G/B     Am
Don't cry out loud
               Dm   Dm/C#
Just keep it inside
                 F/C           G
And learn how to hide your feelings
C   G/B      Am
Fly high and proud
                   Dm  Dm/C#
And if you should fall
              F/C    G     Am   G
Remember you almost had it all
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                                            Em
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
      F                G               G/B   C   G/B
They left behind her dreams among the litter
            C                                     Em
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found
             F               G              G/B    C   G/B
There was nothing left but sawdust and some glit - ter
     Am                              G/B
But Baby can't be broken, 'cause you see
    D7sus4             D7              Dm7  G
She  had  the finest teacher, that was me
 
I told her
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C     G/B     Am
Don't cry out loud
               Dm   Dm/C#
Just keep it inside
                 F/C           G
And learn how to hide your feelings
C   G/B      Am
Fly high and proud
                   Dm  Dm/C#
And if you should fall
              F/C    G     Am   G
Remember you almost had it all
