intro: 4 times E, then 4x verse riff A G E

           A      G   E (continue with riff)
Now, is it uptown or downtown
why did you come down here?
we haven't seen the likes of your blonde hair
since we got the fear

                E G A (continue with riff)
Now, you don't need to be so violent
you don't need to be silent
you don't need to be so private
since you took the loss


F#m  A  E                 F#m  A  E
        Cause it's a Love Circus


     A  G  E ...
Now everyone's so sad in town
and it's a long way downtown
now, is it yellow, black or brown or white
why did you come down here
we haven't seen anyone dead like you
since a war was near

               E G A ...
Now, you don't need that chipped shoulder
you don't need that business folder
you don't need to get any bolder if it's business time


        Cause it's a Love Circus


    A  G  E ...
Now everyone's so sad in town
and it's a long way downtown


instrumental: 4x E G A


           A      G  E ...
Now, is it uptown or downtown
is it Chinatown or Funkytown
you got a price that is not so nice
you got demise written on your mind

         E G A ...
And the heat they all know you
and the heat would like to catch you
and the heat always knew the crew was due on you


        But it's a Love Circus


     A  G  E ...
Now, everyone's so sad in town
and it's a long way downtown ..... yeah


instrumental:   4x verse riff E G A
                then 4x  A   E  A  E  A  E
