Intro:
C majorC

Verse 1:
  C majorC
The days keep on turning
  A minorAm            FF
The living, the learning, the long goodbyes
   C majorC
That far destination
  A minorAm             FF
A augmentedA horse that keeps chasing a lonely prize

Pre-Chorus:
   G+G            A minorAm
I’m spinning in circles, get lost in the blur of the
 C majorC           FF         G+G
Colors and crowds, the ups and the downs, oh
            A minorAm
I’ve been trying to let go
            C majorC      FF
Let the ride lift me up off the ground


Chorus:
     C majorC     A minorAm
And we go round and round
 FF     G+G
Riding a carousel
       C majorC     A minorAm
Lost in the light and sound
    FF         G+G
It’s only temporary, no way to tell
      C majorC                 E minorEm
If we’re running out of time, if we are that’s fine
           FF    G+G
Just don’t make me ride by myself
      C majorC  A minorAm  G+G
So til it all slows down
       C majorC     A minorAm
Ride with me round and round
      C majorC
On this carousel


Verse 2:
  C majorC              A minorAm
Holding on tight through the shadows and light
      FF
We’re just passing by
  C majorC         A minorAm
Over and over, just when we get close
      FF
It falls out of sight

Pre-Chorus:
   G+G           A minorAm
I’m spinning to music, get dizzy and lose
     C majorC
What I thought I had found
   FF        G+G
I’m up and I’m down oh
            A minorAm
I’ve been trying to let go
            C majorC        FF
Let the ride lift me up off the ground


Chorus:
     C majorC     A minorAm
And we go round and round
 FF     G+G
Riding a carousel
       C majorC     A minorAm
Lost in the light and sound
    FF         G+G
It’s only temporary, no way to tell

If we’re running out of time, if we are that’s fine
           FF    G+G
Just don’t make me ride by myself
C majorC   A minorAm   G+G
Ride by myself
      C majorC  A minorAm  G+G
So til it all slows down
