Carousel

 
C                    E 
Life's an amusement, love is a ride 
Am                  C7                Fmaj7 
We took it cruisin' too many times, my dear 
Fm                  C    G 
  How did we end up here? 
C                      E 
Red, green, and purple stars in our eyes 
Am                      C7 
Talkin' in circles, but never arrive 
       Fmaj7  Fm 
It's so clear 
                        C   E 
We're still stuck right here

This love is a carousel, it ain't hard to tell 
           C         E 
We're just spinnin' around 
                   Dm7                 F 
But we ain't goin' anywhere, love, I'm well aware 
           C         E 
There's no saving us now 
           Dm7 
We're just going through the motions 
  F                             C           E 
I know this ride is broken, I'm shutting it down 
               Dm7            N.C.            Am  Fmaj7 
This love is a carousel, it's time we bid farewell 
 

 
C                     E 
How long have we been on this machine? 
Am               C7                     Fmaj7 Fm 
Faked chemistry, I think we're long overdue 
             C E 
For somebody new 
   C                   E 
If I'm bein' honest, I want to let go 
    Am                         C7                   Fmaj7 Fm 
But I'm holdin' on this 'cause I'm scared of being alo - ne 
                    C E7 
But it haunts me to know
