D G Em Em/F# G A D
[Verse]
G D
Like a kid on a carousel
G A
I go around in circles
G Em
Not knowing whether to be scared
A
Of all the ups and downs
G D
By the face you could never tell
G A
That inside I'm hurtin'
G Em
I'm always on the move
A
But never gainin' ground
[Verse]
Bm G
And the brightly painted ponies
D G
They have feelings inside
Bm G
Like me do they ever want
Em A
To get off of this ride
D G
And the mirrors in the middle reflect
D G
Years of going nowhere
D G
Of trying to catch the horse out in front
Em A
When you know there's not a prayer
G D
Somehow through the pain
G D
I'll grab ahold of the reins
G D
And all will end up well
Em A D
When I stop this carousel
