Am       F         C           E
Whatever happened to the great escape
Am       F      C     E
The finest ever made?
Am       F        C          E
Crafted with pride by masters on the
Am
trade
F                    C      E
The world's greatest circus

[Chorus]
           F              C
We had the story of the impossible
        E          Am
A tale best told softly
       C        E
One of make-believe
       Am            D
Maybe impossible to achieve
   F
But really close


[Verse]
 Am              F         C         E
Who soothed the lion's hungry in the cage
 Am           F           C      E
With the confidence of a clown?
     Am         F    C           E
The little man who rises on the stage
 Am           F           C      E
As he falls without a safety net?

[Chorus]
           F              C
We had the story of the impossible
        E          Am
A tale best told softly
       C        E
One of make-believe
       Am            D
Maybe impossible to achieve
   F
But really close

 Am             F             C      E
Whatever happened to the great escape
 Am          F        C      E
And to all the plans we make?
 Am             F             C         E
Crafted with pride by Masters on the trade
 Am             F           C     E
The world's greatest circus

[Chorus]
           F              C
We had the story of the impossible
        E          Am
A tale best told softly
       C        E
One of make-believe
       Am            D
Maybe impossible to achieve
   F
But really close
