[Intro]: E minorEm C majorC G+G  x4

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

[Interlude]: E minorEm C majorC G+G  x4

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

E minorEm C majorC       G+G  E minorEm  C majorC      G+G E minorEm    C majorC G+G
And it?s all fun and games, 'til somebody falls in love
       E minorEm          C majorC            G+G
But you've already bought a ticket, and there?s no turning back now

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

E minorEm C majorC     G+G  E minorEm C majorC        G+G  E minorEm
This horse is too slow, we?re always this close
C majorC   G+G E minorEm  C majorC     G+G
Almost, almost, we?re a freakshow
E minorEm  C majorC      G+G  E minorEm     C majorC     G+G E minorEm
Right, right when I?m near, it?s like you disappear
 C majorC    G+G E minorEm   C majorC         G+G  E minorEm
Where?d you go, is that Houdini or a freakshow

C majorC        G+G  E minorEm  C majorC      G+G E minorEm    C majorC G+G
And it?s all fun and games, 'til somebody falls in love
       E minorEm          C majorC            G+G
But you've already bought a ticket, and there?s no turning back now

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

 E minorEm    D MajorD    C majorC
Why did you steal my cotton candy heart
E minorEm      D MajorD    C majorC
You threw it in this damn coin slot
E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC
And now I?m stuck, I'm stuck
E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC
Riding, riding, riding

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