Song: Chameleon Comedian
By:   Kathleen Edwards

[intro:]   |Am  |C  |Fmaj7 |Dm |
           |Am  |C  |Fmaj7 |Dm | 
 
[verse: 1]
             Am
I know your heart
          C
It is a secret thing
              Fmaj7
And you're a comedian
    Dm                           (G)        
You hide behind your funny face
 
[chorus:]
Am      
      Every time 
Fmaj7             
      Every time   
C           Em
 
[verse: 2]
             Am
Out of the shadows
              C
Out of the cameras and the lights
           Fmaj7
You're a chameleon
        Dm                            (G)
And you hide behind your darker side
 
[chorus:]
Am      
   Every time 
Fmaj7             
    Every time   
C           
    I don't need a punchline
Em
    Don't need a punchline

|Am  |C  |Fmaj7 |Dm |
 
[verse: 3]
             Am
Everybody's watching
                C
The way that I see you could not change
             Fmaj7
I'll be your medium
        Dm
For everything you wanted to say
                   Am
Cause out of the shadows
             C
Out of the cameras and the lights
        Fmaj7
I'm a chameleon
       Dm
I just hide behind the songs I write
 
[bridge:]
         F
See me smile
      G
It's not for a funny joke
         F
See me smile
      G
It's not for a funny joke, it's for...

Am
