[Intro]
                      Dm
I heard that there's a carnival
                                        A
The music there is loud, the lights are wonderful
                                   A#
No one makes it out, they welcome you with grins
                   A
But once you're in, you will never be the same again
                   Dm
Let the games begin
                  A
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
                  A#
Let the games begin
                  A
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

[Verse 1]
Dm
You can see the show any time you like
A
When you feel alone, that's when they arrive
A#
Knockin' on your door, callin' in the night
A
How could you ignore such a lovely time?

[Bridge]
Dm
Lights and prizes everywhere you look
Page 1/2
A
Anything to keep you hooked
A#
Empty smiles everywhere you turn
A
Not a single lesson learned

[Chorus]
                       Dm
I heard that there's a carnival
                                        A
The music there is loud, the lights are wonderful
                                   A#
No one makes it out, they welcome you with grins
                     A
But once you're in, you will never be the same again
                   Dm
Let the games begin
                  A
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
                   A#
Let the games begin
                  A
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

[Final]
             A#
They welcome you with grins
                     A*             A*
But once you're in, you will never be the same
                                  Dm
No, you will never be the same again
