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

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

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

Chorus

This horse is too slow
We're always this close
Almost, almost
We're a freak show
Right, right when I'm near
It's like you disappear
Where'd you go?
Mr. Houdini, you're a freak show

And it's all fun and games
Till somebody falls in love
But you already bought a ticket
And there's no turning back now

Chorus

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

Chorus
