Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Stand up in line, open your eyes,
It's a man and his tragical merry- go- [Bm]round,
It [Am]took you for a ride,
Well, [Em]there's no way out, my friend.

[Verse 2]
[Em]So many fails made you so we[Bm]ll,
[Em]Try to resist, but you turn on your will
A [Am]headline, [Em]had [Am]been spelled
[Em]up i[Am]n red[Em] just for you.
Beauti[G]ful

[Verse 3]
[C]youth, where did you [G]go?
Pushing [Em]around, [D]cracked in [Em]the holes.
Live in [C]the walls, you live in a [G]dream,
Go on [Em]and [D]out, more [Em]under free

[Verse 4]
[Em]
So you hand your [Bm]money [Em]to
[B]the [Em]man at the t[Bm]urnstop
He [Em]looks with a grin, but no sense of [Bm]wrong.
He [Am]took you to a ride and [Em]whispered good luck,
my boy.
You were feeling so [Bm]fine,
[Em]but [Bm]your h[Em]ead got so twist[Bm]ed
[Em]Out in the corner where you were
to [Bm]vis i[Em]t yo[Bm]ur he[Am]art,
You left it [Em]behind, my [Bm]love.

[Verse 5]
[C]All we want to do is ride around with you.
[Em]Take it or leave it, don't matter at all,
Making you feel so [Am]small on
the merry- go- [Em]round,
[Am]On a merry- go- [Em]round.
[Am]Got your feet off the [Em]ground
[Am]on a merry go roun[Em]d.

[Verse 6]
An [Em]anxious cry could let see my urge,
[Bm]It's [Em]a dea[Bm]th at [Em]the front,
shaking at ease.
She [Am]lays down a hop and [Em]lefts
me for a penny or two.

[Verse 7]
So [Em]misunder[Bm]stood I [Em]knew
that she [Bm]would[Em]
[Bm]Roun[Em]ded by the t[Bm]ime t[Em]hat s[Bm]he d[Em]id,
[Am]The carousel taking up all
the worse.
[Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 8]
[C]All we want to do is ride around with you.
[Em]Take it or leave it, don't matter at all,
Making you feel so [Am]small on
the merry- go- [Em]round,
[Am]On a merry- go- [Em]round.
[Am]Got your feet off the [Em]ground on[Am]
a merry [Em]go round.
[Am][Em]

[Verse 9]
Beau[C]tiful youth, where did [G]you go?
Pushing [D]around, [Em]cracked in the holes.
Live in [C]the walls, you live in a dream,
[G]Go up and[Em] down, mor[D]e u[Em]nder free.
