C G C I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel C F A pastel-colored carriage in the air. Dm A7 Dm I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while C/D G A silly twist apon a childish dare Below I saw you whispering to another man Who held the lever that could bring me down He'd stop the world from turning at your command It's always something cruel that laughter drowns Chorus: G C And I'm up while the dawn is breaking C7 F Even though my heart is aching F#dim7 I should be drinking a toast to G G#dim7 C absent friends Instead of these comedians I can hardly hear the music from the carousel The wind picks up, the carriage starts sway As one by one the lights go out It's closing time I see you take his hand and walk away walk away They say that you will always be the last to know They say that all that glitters is not gold It's not just that you're never coming back to me It's the bitter way that I was told Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA7  C  C7  D  Dm  F  F#dim  F#dim7  G  G#dim  G#dim7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
