VERSE 1
G Em (E* B) Bm (G) C (E* C)
Sweet Sunday afternoon, Sep-tember's golden brown
G Em (E* B) Bm (G) C (G C*)
Summer always fades too soon like the laughter of a clown
G Em (G B*) Bm (G) C (G* C)
And shadows fill the room where sorrows come to drown
G Em (E* B) Bm (G) C (G C*) Am
Your heart’s a lead balloon as you sink another one down
PRE CHORUS 1
D Dsus4 D
I know it numbs the way you feel
Am D Dsus4 D
Blurs what is right and what is real
Am Em (E* B) D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
And there's no love left you can steal
CHORUS 1
C (G) G5
For the joker laughs along
Em (E* B) A7
And the jes-ter's outsmarted
Am7 (G C*) Em (E* B) D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
C (G* C) Gsus4 G5
And the sad man sings a song
Em (E* B) A7 (E* C#)
For the drunk and broken hearted
C (G) D (G)
And the fool, he never knows how much it cost

VERSE 2
G Em (G B*) Bm (G) C (G C*)
Sweet Sunday after-noon and all that can be heard
G Em (G B*) Bm (G) C (G* C)
Is an old, familiar tune, though you’ve forgotten half the words
G Em (G B*) Bm (G) C (G C*)
And sunlight floods the room like a silent flock of birds
G Em (E* B) Bm (G) C (G C*) Am
And hope's a red balloon, disappearing through the clo-o-ouds
PRE CHORUS 2
D Dsus4 D
I know it numbs the way you feel
Am D Dsus4 D
Blurs what is right and what is real
Am Em (E* B) D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
There's no one here to make a deal with

For the joker laughs along

Am7 (G C*) Em (E* B) D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
C (G* C) Gsus4 G5
Oh, and the sad man, he sings a song
Em (E* B) A7 (E* C#)
For the drunk and broken hearted
C (G) D (G)
And the fool, he never knows how much it cost
