Ab Cm Fm Eb


🎸 Verse :

Ab
Promises
                           Cm
You make your bed then you lay in it
                                 Fm
At least I thought that’s what a promise is
                    Eb
But I find no truth here
Ab
Far away
                 Cm
God I wish I was far away
                     Fm
For a night, maybe a couple of days
                    Eb
Just to get my head straight

🎸 Chorus:

Ab
Carousel
                         Cm
This is the way that the world goes round
                    Fm
Spinning in circles ride to the highest of height
                          Eb
Before it brings you back down then
Ab
Take all you need now
                     Cm
Before you waste it away
                     Fm
Ohhhh, they take it away
                         Eb
Because they'll take it away


🎸 Bridge:

Db           Ab
Ohhh, flyin' high
      Cm
Yeahh yeahhh
Db           Ab
Ohhh, flyin' high
       Cm
Yeahhh yeahhh
Db                      Ab     Cm Fm
Ohhh, to the highest of height
                         Eb
Before it brings me back down to the ground


🎸 Chorus 2:

Ab
Carousel
                         Cm
This is the way that the world goes round
                    Fm
Spinning in circles ride to the highest of height
                          Eb
Before it brings you back down and we go back around again
Ab
Carousel
                         Cm
This is the way that the world goes round
                   Fm
Jumping the hurdle sharks tip-toe-ing
            Eb
Spinning us out


🎸 Interlude:

Promises
                             Cm
You've made your bed now you lay in it
                         Fm
I was told that's what a promise is
                 Eb
You get what you give
