As recorded by The Replacements (From the 1990 Album ALL SHOOK DOWN) [Intro] E A B A E A E [Verse 1]
E                                A
Hush was the first word you were taught

         E
And they watched you wear

                                   A
The clothes they claimed that they bought

                 C#m7
They brought you down

   F#m                 A
To watch the merry-go around
[Verse 2]
   E                          A
In fall, you knew how much it cost

          E
A trouble doll

                          A
Around your neck when you lost

                    C#m7
You wouldn't make a sound

            F#m                    A
But I could hear your little heart pound

                                     E
And I watched your feet slip off the ground
[Chorus]
         A
Merry go round in dreams

                    E
Writes 'em down, it seems

         A
When she sleeps, she's free

E        A     B  E
Merry go round in dreams
[Verse 3]
E                           A
You wake to another day and find

           E                            A
The wind's blowing out of key with your sky

             C#m7
Only you can see

        F#m                 A
And the rain dancing in the night

                             E
Everybody stands around in delight
[Chorus]
         A
Merry go round in dreams

                    E
Writes 'em down, it seems

         A
When she sleeps, she's free

E        A     B  E
Merry go round in dreams
[Bridge]
Bm7                        A
And everybody thinks she's sick

Bm7                          A    B7sus4  A  E
She's got two worlds she can pick

    A        B  A
And she's sad
[Interlude] A E A B E A E [Verse 4]
E                         A
Hush is the only word you know

                              E
And I stopped listening long ago

                       A
They ignored me with a smile

         C#m7
You as a child

        F#m                           A
But the trouble doll hears your heart pound

                                      E
And your feet they say goodbye to the ground
[Chorus]
         A
Merry go round in dreams

                    E
Writes 'em down, it seems

         A
When she sleeps, she's free

E        A     B  E
Merry go round in dreams
[Outro]
         A     B  A
Merry go round in dreams

E        A     B  A
Merry go round in me

E        A    B A
Merry go round

E        A     B  A
Merry go round in me

E         A     B  A
Round and round in me

E        A     B  A
Merry go round in me
