[Db]
[Bb]
Come, [Fm] come, come, come on.
[Bb] You must [Am] be this tall [Gb] to ride this [Abm] ride at the [Fm] carnival.
Oh, come [A] take my [Db] hand and run through [Bb] my [Db] land so high, too high.
At the [F]
carnival.
[Bbm] And it's all [Abm] fun and [F] games [Db] till somebody [Ab]
[F] falls [Db] in love.
[Ab] But [F] you already bought a [Db] ticket and there's no [Eb] turning back [Fm] now.
Round and round [Db] like a horse on a [Fm] carousel.
[Bb] Where do you [Db] go?
Will I catch up to love?
I can never tell.
[Ab] I
[Fm] know chasing after you is like a fairy tale.
[Bb] But [Db] I feel like I'm glued on tight [Fm] to this carousel.
[Abm]
[F] This horse is too slow.
We're always this close.
[E] Almost, almost.
We're a [Fm] freak show.
[Db] Right, right when I'm near.
It's like you disappear.
Where do you go?
It's not a video [F] freak show.
[Bbm] And it's all [Fm] fun and games till somebody falls [Db] in love.
[Ab] But [Dm] you already bought a [Db] ticket and there's [Eb] no turning back [Fm] now.
Round and round like a horse on a carousel.
[Bb] Where do you [Db] go?
Will I catch up to [Gm] love?
[Fm] I can never tell.
I know chasing after you is like a fairy tale.
[Db] [Bbm] But [Fm] I [Db] feel like I'm glued on [Fm] tight to this carousel.
[Abm]
[Fm] Why [Eb] did you steal [Db] my cotton candy heart?
[Fm] You threw [Eb] it in this [Db] damn coin [Bbm] slot.
[Fm] I know [Eb] I'm stuck, I'm [Db] stuck.
Right [Eb] in, right [Ab] in, [Bbm] right in.
[Fm]
[C] Round and round like a horse on a carousel.
[Fm] Where do you go?
Will I catch up to love?
I can never tell.
I know chasing after you is like a fairy tale.
But I feel like I'm glued on tight to this [Db] carousel.
