[Intro]: Em C G  x4

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

[Interlude]: Em C G  x4

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

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

Em  C         G     Em   C G

Em C     G       Em    C G
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Em    C       G       Em   C
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel

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

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

Em  C         G     Em   C G
Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Em  C       G       Em    C G
Will I catch up to love, I could never tell, I know

Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Em    C       G       Em   C
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel

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

Em  C         G     Em   C G
Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Em  C       G       Em    C G
Will I catch up to love, I could never tell, I know
