Cadd9        Cmaj7
By the bumper cars

Cadd9  Cmaj7          Em7  Em  Em7  Em
In the pretty twining light

I may have gone too far

Cadd9      Cmaj7               Bm
I may have gone too much, too long

Cadd9        Cmaj7
At the after bars

Cadd9        Cmaj7        Em7  Em  Em7  Em
Think I was sullied by a dream

Cadd9          Cmaj7
In the killing jar

You and me at war, at arms

All falling in embrace

all shiny
[Verse]
Cadd9   Cmaj7
A tawny gypsy girl

Cadd9    Cmaj7        Em7  Em  Em7  Em
Sleeping blanketed by stars

Cadd9       Cmaj7
Beneath the tilt-a-whirl

Cadd9         Cmaj7        Bm
Where we were coyly caught alone

Em  G                  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Em7  Em
All fumbling with your blouse
[Chorus]
Em   D  G   Am  B7

[Interlude]
D                        C
And in the rollercoaster din

D                    C
By the parachutes in saddle shoes

    Em
You break your shins

D                     C           Em7  Em  Em7  Em
But I have never seen two eyes so shiny

D                    C
And the sullen beery swine

D
Who try to tangle you

   C            Em
In sullen beery balls of twine

D                       C       Em7 Em Em7 Em
Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny?
[Verse]
Cadd9   Cmaj7
Boys in denim vests

Cadd9   Cmaj7        Em7  Em  Em7  Em
Smoking cigarettes between

Cadd9          Cmaj7
The bootblack fingertips

Cadd9   Cmaj7        Bm   Em
Sweetly tipsy by the half light

    G                  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Em7  Em
The light and the half light
[Chorus]
Em   D  G   Am  B7
Tell me why you lied

    Em             D               Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7
And what it is you do to keep your eyes

    Em9     Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Em7  Em  Em7  Em
all shiny
