There's [Am] always a joker [C] in the pack
There's [F] always a lonely [Dm] clown
The [Am] poor laughing fool [C] falls on his back
And [F] everyone laughs when he's [E] down
There's [Am] always a funny man [C] in the game
But [F] he's only funny by [Dm] mistake
[A#] And everyone laughs at him just the same
They [Bm] don't see his lonely heart [E] break
[E5] They don't care as long as [Em] there is a jester, [E] just a [Am] fool
[Em] As foolish as he [Am] can [Em] [Am] be
[Em] There's always a [C] joker, [E] that's the [A] rule
But [Em] fate deals the [Am] hand that I [E] see
The joker is [F] me, [Am] the joker is [F] [Am] me
The joker is [F] me, [Am] the joker is [F] [Am] me
The joker is me
Drink the poison
'Cause [Am] there's always a loser [C] in the game
The [F] court loves to watch them [Dm] cry
The [Am] royals shout, [C] "This queen needs to sing"
To [F] ruffle the scene of the [E] crime
The [Am] king wears a funny [C] suit, he's a clown
The [F] crowd rumbles with their [Dm] roars
[A#maj7] And everyone watches as he [A#] declines
The [Bm] queen pierces him with a [E] sword
[E5] I don't care as long as [Em] there is a wild man [E] in the [Am] deck
[Em] As long as I see his [Am] [Em] [Am] frown
Then [Em] I won't be [C] lonely, [E] that's a [A] fact
I stand [Em] here and [Am] wait for his [E] sound, ha, ha, ha
The joker is [F] me, [Am] the joker is [F] [Am] me
The joker is [F] me, [Am] the joker is [F] [Am] me
The joker is [E] [A] [Em] [Am] me
The joker is [E] [A] [Em] [Am] me
The joker is me
