[N] [D] [Bm]
[C]
I sat [G] there a-run [C] up on the ferris wheel A pastel color carried [F] in the air
[Dm] I thought you'd leave [Db] me dangling [Dm] for a little while
A silly twist upon a [G] childish day
[C] Below I [G] saw you whisper [C] to another man
Who held the lever that could [F] bring me down
[Dm] It stops the world [Dbm] from turning [Dm] at your command
It's always something cruel that [G] lasts to drown
And I'm up [C] while the dawn is breaking Even [F] though my heart is aching
I could be [B] drinking the dose
To let [G] some friend [Abm] answer to the comedian
[C] [G] [Am]
[E] [F] [C]
[G] [C]
I can hardly hear [G] the music from [C] the carousel
[E] The wind picks up the [F] carriage, starts to sway
[Am] And one by one the lights go out, it's closing time
[G] I see you take his hand and walk away Walk [C] away
[G] [Am] [E]
[F] [C]
[G] [C]
They say that you [G] are always [C] the last to know
They say that all that glitters [F] is not gold
[A] It's not just that you're never [Am] coming back to me
[G] It's the bitter way that I was told
[C] And I'm up [F] while the dawn is breaking Even though [Bb] my heart is aching
I could be drinking [E] the dose
To [C] let some friend answer to the comedian
[F] [Ab] [Bb]
