[Intro]
Bb F Eb Bb Gm F Eb


[Verse 1]
Eb            Gm         F
  Pony up the price of admission
Eb             Gm            F      Eb
  Reminisce in thoughts of a better time
                     Gm           F
Hold your breath and hope for the best
    Ab
The lights go down but it's only
  F
beginning Just keep your head up


[Chorus 1]
Bb                             F
  This world goes by in a flash
    Eb                              Bb
And where it stops is anyone's guess
    Gm                  F
The same old sights and fading lights
 Eb         F
Around and around stuck on a carousel
Bb                              F
  Eyes closed and try to hold on
    Eb                                 Bb
But in no time you're back at the start
    Gm                 F
The same old songs and sing alongs
 Eb         F
Around and around stuck on a carousel


[Verse 2]
Eb             Gm             F
  Lured into a false sense of safety
Eb                    Gm             F
  One loose screw and all this comes crashing
Eb                     Gm           F
down Take a breath and hope for the best
    Ab                             F
The lights go down but it's only beginning
F
Just keep your head up


[Chorus 2]
Bb                             F
  This world goes by in a flash
    Eb                              Bb
And where it stops is anyone's guess
    Gm                  F
The same old sights and fading lights
 Eb         F
Around and around stuck on a carousel
Bb                              F
  Eyes closed and try to hold on
    Eb                                 Bb
But in no time you're back at the start
    Gm                 F
The same old songs and sing alongs
 Eb         F
Around and around stuck on a carousel


[Bridge]
Eb                              Bb  F
And for the moment it all seems okay
    Eb                           Bb  F
But in the end it could all fade away
      Eb                              Bb    F
Still drunk on memories you've buried inside
     Ab                  F
Just hold on tight and enjoy the ride


[Chorus 3]
N.C.
Move on but going nowhere
N.C.
With thoughts of how you ended up here
N.C.
It looks the same but things have changed
N.C.
Around and around stuck on a carousel


[Chorus 4]
Bb                             F
  This world goes by in a flash
    Eb                              Bb
And where it stops is anyone's guess
    Gm                  F
The same old sights and fading lights
 Eb         F
Around and around stuck on a carousel
Bb                              F
  Eyes closed and try to hold on
    Eb                                 Bb
But in no time you're back at the start
    Gm                 F
The same old songs and sing alongs
 Eb         F                        Bb
Around and around stuck on a carousel
