Carousel chords by Sam Tsui

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C

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

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


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


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


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


Chorus:
         C          Am
And we go round and round
 F          G
Riding a carousel
              C         Am
Lost in the light and sound
       F                 G
It’s only temporary, no way to tell
           C                                  Em
If we’re running out of time, if we are that’s fine
                     F        G
Just don’t make me ride by myself
C      Am      G
Ride by myself
           C    Am   G
So til it all slows down
              C         Am
Ride with me round and round
           C
Round this carousel
Am            C
Oh, on this carousel

C                     Am
Round and round and round and round and
F                   G
Round and round and round and round and
         Am                     F
Round we go, round and round we go, oh

C                    Am
Round and round and round and round and
F                   G
Round and round and round and round and
         Am  F     G
Round we go, oooh, oooh


Chorus:

              C         Am
Lost in the light and sound
       F                 G
It’s only temporary, no way to tell
           C                                  Em
If we’re running out of time, if we are that’s fine
                     F        G
Just don’t make me ride by myself
C      Am      G
Ride by myself

Round this carousel
Am            C
Oh, on this carousel
