Chords

[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
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
[Bridge]
           Am               C
I wanna shed all of my skin

          F              G      Am
Feel my blood as it tastes the wind

   C                     F     G
I don't know where to begin
[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
[Outro]
Am                         C    
You'll never really know what

                       F                 G           
You'll never really know what winning's like

Am                         C    
You'll never really know what

                       F                 G           
You'll never really know what winning's like

Am                         C    
You'll never really know what

                       F                 G           
You'll never really know what winning's like

Am                         C    
You'll never really know what

                       F                 G           
You'll never really know what winning's like
