[Intro]

Em C G   x4


[Chorus 1]

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


[Verse 1]

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


[Pre-Chorus 1]

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


[Chorus 2]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre-Chorus 2]

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


[Chorus 3]

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


[Bridge]

 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


[Chorus 4]

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
