E minorEm   Cmaj7Cmaj7            E minorEm   Cmaj7Cmaj7  E minorEm
 Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we  go
    Cmaj7Cmaj7           E minorEm   Cmaj7Cmaj7   E minorEm
Will I catch up to love, I could never tell, I   know
  Cmaj7Cmaj7          E minorEm   Cmaj7Cmaj7   E minorEm
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but  I
   Cmaj7Cmaj7              E minorEm  Cmaj7Cmaj7
Feel like I’m glued on tight to this carousel

Verse:
E minorEm Cmaj7Cmaj7      E minorEm Cmaj7Cmaj7         E minorEm
Come, come one, come all,   you must be this tall
Cmaj7Cmaj7  E minorEm Cmaj7Cmaj7      E minorEm
To ride this ride at the carnival
Cmaj7Cmaj7      E minorEm Cmaj7Cmaj7           E minorEm
Oh, come take my hand,   and run through playland
Cmaj7Cmaj7  E minorEm  Cmaj7Cmaj7      E minorEm
So high, too high at the carnival

Bridge:
  Cmaj7Cmaj7      E minorEm  Cmaj7Cmaj7     E minorEm    Cmaj7Cmaj7
And it’s all fun and games, ’til somebody falls in love
      E minorEm         Cmaj7Cmaj7              E minorEm
But you’ve already bought a ticket, and there’s no turning back now

Chorus:
Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Will I catch up to love, I could never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Feel like I’m glued on tight to this carousel

Verse:
This horse is too slow, we’re always this close
Almost, almost, we’re a freakshow
Right, right when I’m near, it’s like you disappear
Where’d you go, is that Houdini or a freakshow

Bridge:
And it’s all fun and games, ’til somebody falls in love
But you’ve already bought a ticket, and there?s no turning back now

Chorus:
Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Will I catch up to love, I could never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Feel like I’m glued on tight to this carousel

Turnover:
E minorEm     D MajorD   Cmaj7Cmaj7
Why did you steal my cotton candy heart
E minorEm      D MajorD    Cmaj7Cmaj7
 You threw it in this damn coin slot
E minorEm     D MajorD    Cmaj7Cmaj7
 And now I’m stuck, I’m stuck
E minorEm   D MajorD    Cmaj7Cmaj7
Riding, riding, riding

Chorus:
Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Will I catch up to love, I could never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Feel like I’m glued on tight to this carousel
