G                D 
Like a kid on a carousel 
G               D 
I go around in circles 
G                           D 
Not knowing whether to be scared 
   A                G 
Of all the ups and downs 
G                      D 
By the face you could never tell 
G                D 
That inside I'm hurtin' 
G                  D 
I'm always on the move 
                    A 
But never gainin' ground 
Bm                G 
And the brightly painted ponies 
  D                G 
They have feelings inside 
 D                    A 
Like me do they ever want 
  G                 D 
To get off of this ride 
         D 
And the mirrors in the middle reflect 
                   G 
Years of going nowhere 
D                       G             E 
Of trying to catch the horse out in front 
           G                  A 
When you know there's not a prayer 
 G                   D 
Somehow through the pain 
G                      D 
I'll grab hold of the reins 
G                    D 
And all will end up well 
         G A           D 
When I stop this carousel
