Verse 1

F#m E You shouldn’t put a lion in a cage A D On a cart, on a train to go travel so far F#m E A And everyone knows better yet it’s something we pay to see He’s strong and wild D In all the ways that you’d like to be

Chorus

F#m D And everybody loves a circus A E But nobody knows it as well as I do, Mmmhmmm F#m D You ask me if it’s worth it A E I say that it’s what I know best how to do, Mmmhmmm F#m D And everybody loves a circus A E But nobody knows it as well as I do, Mmmhmmm F#m D You ask me if it’s worth it A E I say that it is if it leads me to you

Verse 2

F#m E A You shouldn’t put an elephant in chains for so long D He remembers everything but not where he went wrong F#m E A And everyone knows bеtter yet it’s something that wе still do He’s kind despite the places D That you're paying to bring him to

Chorus

Verse 3

F#m* Then you came E* You didn’t need glass slippers for your feet Just something for after the showers A To keep ‘em clean, and you're like me D You didn’t like lions and elephants for admission fees D* We didn't talk about it but the day would come we would set them A Then you came E Sat on my lap held a blade against my throat A You could cut me I didn’t mind to bleed at all And you're like me D You didn’t like the lions and elephants for admission fees We didn't talk about it but the day would come we would set them free

Chorus

F#m* D* And everybody loves a circus A* E* But nobody knows it as well as I do, Mmmhmmm F#m D You ask me if it’s worth it A E I say that it’s what I know best how to do, Mmmhmmm F#m D And everybody loves a circus A E But nobody knows it as well as I do, Mmmhmmm F#m D You ask me if it’s worth it A E I say that it is if it leads me to you
