[Verse 1]
          C                   F
I met the Devil down in Austin
              G
He gave me a Fuji apple
  C          F
I took a bite and went out of my
G
head
        C                   F
I was a girl in a black Corvette
        G
Getting head in the shadows
        C             F
I was a beetle floating in a bottle
    G
of red


[Chorus]
        C          F  G
I was a party clown
          C  F  G
Party clown


[Verse 2]
          C          F
I took a weightless bath
                  G
'Til my own laugh gave me the creeps
          C         F
I watched a scorpion crawl across my
G
feet
     C                F
Its been a while, but we communicate
G
psychically
           C         F          G
Now you're at my door, trick or treat


[Chorus]
        C          F  G
I was a party clown
          C  F  G
Party clown
        C          F  G
I was a party clown
          C  F  G
Party clown


[Bridge]
N.C.                 Dm
And why can't you be my puzzle piece,
G
baby
                               Dm
And now that you've cracked me open
          G
wide, to see
           Dm                G
That I was living my life in stencil
             Dm              G
But the rainbow was inside of me


[Chorus]
 C         F  G
Party clown
          C  F  G
Party clown
      C          F  G
I'm a party clown
          C  F  G
Party clown


[Outro]
        C     F              G
Can you be my puzzle piece, baby?
        C       F     G
When I cry like Meryl Streep?
           C        F         G
And when I crack my head wide open
        C  F       G
I wanna be next to you
        C          F  G
I was a party clown
          C  F  G
Party clown
        C          F  G
I was a party clown
          C  F  G
Party clown
          C
Party clown
