C             G             C
I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel
   C                              F
A pastel-colored carriage in the air.
   Dm                     A7            Dm
I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while
                C               G
A silly twist apon a childish dare

Below I saw you whispering to another man
Who held the lever that could bring me down
He'd stop the world from turning at your command
It's always something cruel that laughter drowns

Chorus:
     G                 C
And I'm up while the dawn is breaking
C7              F
Even though my heart is aching
                      F#dim7
I should be drinking a toast to
         G                 G#dim7    C
absent friends Instead of these comedians

I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
The wind picks up, the carriage starts sway
As one by one the lights go out
It's closing time
I see you take his hand and walk away walk away

They say that you will always be the last to know
They say that all that glitters is not gold
It's not just that you're never coming back to me
It's the bitter way that I was told
