Intro: Baby cried the day the circus came to town,
‘Cause she didn’t want parades just passing by her.
So she painted on a smile and then took up with some clown,
While she danced without a net upon the wi – re.
I [Bb/A]know a lot about her, ’cause you see,
Baby, is an awful lot like me.
Don’t [Bb/A]cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly [Bb/A]high and proud.
And if you should [Cm/Bb]fall,
Remember you almost had it all.
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down,
They left behind her dreams among the lit – ter.
And the different kind of love she thought she’d found,
There was nothing left but saw – dust and some glit – ter.
But [Bb/A]Baby can’t be broken, ’cause you see,
She had the finest teacher, that was me.
I told her…
Don’t [Bb/A]cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly [Bb/A]high and proud.
And if you should [Cm/Bb]fall,
Remember you almost had it all.
[Bb/F]Ooh..oohh..oohh
Don’t [C/A#]cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly [B/A#]high and proud.
And if you should [C#m/B]fall,
Remember you almost made it.
Don’t [C/A#]cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly [B/A#]high and proud.
And if you should [C#m/B]fall,
Remember we almost had it all.

The key change of Chorus type 2 & 3 may need work, and I didn’t touch the “Ooh..oohh..oohh” line.
