G          D            C                     B7            Em
It's okay, It's alright To play the fool has always been my plight
         D            C            D
In this tiny circus show, I'm the nameless pierrot

[Instrumental]
C     G     C   G
C     G     C   G      C

[Verse]
G                          D
As I try to balance in the center
      C                              D
Of a ball as round and shiny as the moon
G                                 D
It's my job to trip and fall for laughter
             C                D            G
But I always get back up and smile like a buffoon

[Pre-Chorus]
     C              D                G          Em
But then I saw you crying there out in the audience
          C               B7               Em             E7
Put on a happy face, you look much better when you smile
                   C
Your mom and your dad don't seem to notice
G
The tears streaming down your cheek but I did
       Am          Bm                C    D
Don't worry, cause I will wipe them away

[Chorus]
G                D             C            B7             Em
It's okay, It's alright! It doesn't hurt, I do it all the time
             D               C            D
You should laugh, I want you to. This is what I do
G               D           C            B7           Em
It's alright, it's okay. I balance on a ball and fall away
         D           C             D        G
In this tiny circus show, I'm the clumsy pierrot

[Verse]
G                          D
You continued weeping and remarked:
                  C                         D
"I know you're lying and it really makes me sad"
G                               D
"I promise that I never told a single lie"
                 Am           D           G
I said, but you only started crying once again

[Instrumental]
C  D  G     C   D  G     C D

[Verse]
C                    D                G                Em
"Show me what you're hiding there, beneath the painted mask.
                   C             B7               Em         E7
The face that you never show the audience, that's all I ask
                   C
The pain that you feel when you are beaten
                    G
And tears that you cry when no one's looking
      Am          Bm                      C     D
Don't be ashamed, because we all feel the same

[Chorus]
G          D                   C                 B7             Em
It's okay, it's alright. Don't worry, you don't have to fake a smile
        D              C             D
I just want you to be true. Just be true to you
G              D              C             B7               Em
It's alright, it's okay. It doesn't matter what they have to say
           D           C                      D
You won't face it all alone, I will cry with you
G          D                  C                   B7           Em
It's okay, it's alright. You helped me find what disappeared inside
          D              C                    D
It's the face I lost to time, the one that's truly mine
G               D               C      B7        Em       D       C
"It's alright, it's okay" It's like a spell, the lie can finally fade
         D        Em   A     C        D      C
And the lying pierrot that I was has gone away
