[Verse 1]
Am C
If you spend enough cash at the carnival games
F
You'll have a prize in your hand when you walk away
Am C
It'll slip through your fingers and you'll never know
F
What winning's really like, at all
Am C
I stayed here too long, now it's in my soul
F
And when the thunder rolls, I've got nowhere to go
Am C
I keep going round on this carousel
F
Because it spins me so well
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
And I'll stay with you just a little while
F G
There's so much for us to see and do
Am
But don't mistake this for
C
An adventure in paradise
F G7
Just because the ride looks so good
[Chorus]
Am C
Carnival games are so much fun to play
F
Hard to just walk away from
G
When all you want are pretty things
Am C
But the price you pay is always too much
F
I'll never dry up these tears
G7 Am C F G
Cried from all the years of playing carnival games
[Verse 2]
Am C
To know which way to look, all the shiny lights
F
Sign your name on the postcard of your life
Am C
And everyone will say that you came and conquered
F
Yeah, you won the whole race
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
But don't mistake this for
C
