Carousel

Am      F       C
Late we stumble home
G                 Am
Wrapped up in the afterglow
F      C     G
Of the day
Am         F     C
Paved with cobblestone
G                     Am
These streets form an undertone,
F           C              G
To bend and turn us on our way

[Chorus]
F                               G
Love filled the world that I’ve formed
                   Am              C   F
while watching the weeks pass from my windowsill
F                       G
Hope, be a break in the storm
                Am             C    F
While waking my beating heart, once more
C    D7
Whoa oh

[verse]
Am        F           C
Cold eyes sculpt each scene
G                     Am
Two steps through the undergrowth
F          C         G
A careless waltz, by the sea

Am      F  C
Painted in-between
G                Am
Fresh-opened old memories
F       C              G
What is gone, and what may be

Am          F     C
Shaped like plasticine
G         Am
A replica build to cover
F     C
over, Piece by piece
G         Am        F                C
it slips away, from what it’s meant to be
Am               F          C
Oh don’t wake me until it’s over
G
Whoa whoa

[Chorus]
F                               G
Love filled the world that I’ve formed
                   Am              C   F
while watching the weeks pass from my windowsill
F                       G
Hope, be a break in the storm
                Am             C    F
While waking my beating heart, once more

F                               G
Love filled the world that I’ve formed
                   Am              C  F
while watching the weeks pass from my windowsill
F                       G
Hope, be a break in the storm
                Am             C    F
While waking my beating heart, once more

[Bridge]

Oh oh oh
C                    D7                     Am
I know you crave the control, but life is a carousel
             E
Spinning you round and round
C                                    D7
And the more you fight the faster it goes
              Am                   E
Lean into the chaos and trust your heart to guide you, oh my love

C                    D7                     Am
I know you crave the control, but life is a carousel
             E
Spinning you round and round
C                                    D7
And the more you fight the faster it goes
              Am                   E
Lean into the chaos and trust your heart to guide you on
