Stayed Too Long At Fair

Chorus:
      F
        We've stayed too long,much 
too long at the fair
        The sweet cotton candy smell
    C/G
 of love has left the air

        They're tearing down the 
happy rides and they'll move 'em God
 knows where

        We're standing here alone 
and the laughter is all gone
        I think we stayed too long 
        F
at the fair


Verse 1:
      F
        Only fools and little 
children refuse to realize
        That a fairground's painted 
                       C/G
lanterns are just lights in your 
eyes

        The ferris wheels and roller
 coaster rides they all have to end
        And everybody has to come 
                     F
back down to earth again


Chorus.


Verse 2:(four tones higher)
      D
        We thought that big calliope
 would never end its song
        But we should have known 
                                A
that a merry-go-round can only turn 
so long

        I guess we just weren't 
ready for the carnival to end
        So we stood there frightened
 and alone when the real world set 
A
in


Chorus bis:(half a tone higher)
      E
        We've stayed too long,much 
too long at the fair
        The sweet cotton candy smell
     B
 of love has left the air

        They're tearing down the 
happy rides and they'll move 'em God
 knows where

        We're standing here alone 
and the laughter is all gone
        I think we stayed too long 
        E
at the fair
