Verse:
G G7
I changed my name in search of fame
C GTo find the Midas touch
Oh I wish I hadn't wanted then
CWhat I want now twice as much
G G7We crossed the mighty oceans
And we had a few divides
Bm G G7But we never crossed emotion
C GFor we felt too much inside
Chorus
You know all the tales we tell
Bm GYou know the band so well
G7 C D G C GBut still I feel somehow, we've let you down
We went off somewhere on the way
Bm G G7And now I see we have to pay
C D C Bm Am G CThe rock 'n' roll circus is in town
G C
Verse:
And Buffin lost his child-like dreams
And Mick lost his guitar
And Verden grew a line or two
And Overends' just a rock 'n' roll star
Behind these shades
The vision fades
As I learn a thing or two
And if I had my time again
You all know just what I'd do
Rock 'n' rolls' a losers loser's game
It mesmerises and I can't explain
C D G C GThe reasons for the sights and for the sounds
D CWe went off somewhere on the way
And now I see we have to pay
C D C Bm Am G CThe rock 'n' roll circus is in town
G C
Guitar solo:
So, Rock 'n' rolls' a losers loser's game
It mesmerises and I can't explain
C D G C GThe reasons for the sights and for the sounds
D CThe greasepaint still sticks to my face
So what the hell, I can't erase
C D C Bm Am G CThe rock and roll feeling from my mind
C Bm Am G until the end
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
