Stayed Too Long At Fair

	  		Chorus: 
      F 
	We've stayed too long,much too long at the fair 
                                        C/G 
	The sweet cotton candy smell of love has left the air 
 
	They're tearing down the happy rides and they'll move 'em God knows where 
 
	We're standing here alone and the laughter is all gone 
                                           F 
	I think we stayed too long at the fair 
 
 
Verse 1: 
      F                       
	Only fools and little children refuse to realize 
                                                           C/G    
	That a fairground's painted lanterns are just lights in your eyes 
 
	The ferris wheels and roller coaster rides they all have to end 
                                                       F 
	And everybody has to come back down to earth again 
 
 
Chorus. 
 
 
Verse 2:(four tones higher)  
      D 
	We thought that big calliope would never end its song 
                                                                 A 
	But we should have known that a merry-go-round can only turn so long 
 
	I guess we just weren't ready for the carnival to end 
                                                                       A   
	So we stood there frightened and alone when the real world set in 
 
 
Chorus bis:(half a tone higher) 
      E 
	We've stayed too long,much too long at the fair 
                                         B  
	The sweet cotton candy smell of love has left the air 
 
	They're tearing down the happy rides and they'll move 'em God knows where 
 
	We're standing here alone and the laughter is all gone 
                                           E 
	I think we stayed too long at the fair
