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

She had the finest teacher, that was me
I told her
