G                D
Like a kid on a carousel
G               D
I go around in circles
G                           D
Not knowing whether to be scared
   A                G
Of all the ups and downs
G                      D
By the face you could never tell
G                D
That inside I'm hurtin'
G                  D
I'm always on the move
                    A
But never gainin' ground
Bm                G
And the brightly painted ponies
  D                G
They have feelings inside
 D                    A
Like me do they ever want
  G                 D
To get off of this ride
         D
And the mirrors in the middle reflect
                   G
Years of going nowhere
D                       G             E
Of trying to catch the horse out in front
           G                  A
When you know there's not a prayer
 G                   D
Somehow through the pain
G                      D
I'll grab hold of the reins
G                    D
And all will end up well
         G A           D
When I stop this carousel
