(G Em C D)
G Em C D
Sweet Sunday afternoon
September's golden brown
Summer always fades too soon
Like the laughter of a clown
And shadows fill the room
Where sorrows come to drown
Your heart's a lead balloon
As you sink another one down
Am D
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
And there's no love left you can steal
Am D (maybe add a G)
(Chorus)
C D G Em
For the joker laughs along
As the jester's outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
And the sad man sings a song
For the drunk and broken hearted
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs
(G Em C D)
G Em C D
Sweet Sunday afternoon
And all that can be heard
Is an old familiar tune
Though you've forgotten half the words
And sunlight floods the room
Like a silent flock of birds
And hope's a red balloon
Disappearing through the clouds
Am D
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
And there's no one here to make a deal with
Am D G (maybe)
(Chorus)
C D G Em
For the joker laughs along
And the jester's outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song
For the drunk and broken hearted
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs
(C D G Em)
C D G Em
Yeah well, the joker he laughs along
As the jester's outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song
For the drunk and broken hearted
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it costs
Well the fool, he never knows how much it costs
Ending in G
