[Intro] Dm  E/D  Gm/D  D

D                    E
Life goes around in circles
          Gm                 D      
But every couple of turns I find myself alone
D                          E
And at these times, I see visions
              G            D    F#m
Of a ring up ahead in the road
                         G
But i'm riding at full speed
      E7
On a great white wooden horse
            A7
To catch a ring thats never there

Carousel 
       A7        Bm  A  G
I'm riding on a carousel
D  F#m  G
Carousel
       A7           Bm   A   G 
A ride i've come to know all too well
    A7          Dm  E/D   Gm/D  D
I'm on a carousel

D                    E
Time's a joker and brings back the same
         Gm                             D
Sets for the stage for our play-acting game
D                          E
And at these times, I see visions
               G         D                       F#m     
An endless déjà vu with different sounding ends
               G
And the jokes on me
     E7
I'm reaching for that ring
      A7
But I keep pulling it away

[Chorus]
