D 
Take me to Coney Island 
          G		      D 
Where the air will clear my mind 
       G		     D		        A 
Where nobody can hurt me and nobody can push me aside 

D 
Take me on the roller-coaster 
G	             D 
Show me the mermaid parade 
G			        D                 A 
I'll buy the t-shirts with the fortune we won on arcades

I'm not a gambling man but I'll win if I can 
     G                       D       G   D  A 
I'll take every chance I can get with you 

         D 
I would take you down to the boardwalk 
          G                      D 
Where I'd hold your hand all the way 
     G                    D                     A 
We'd sit by the ocean and wash all our troubles away 

       D 
If you take me to the circus 
       G                  D 
Where I wouldn't be out of place 
        G                  D                        A 
I could feel like myself despite all the pain on my face

I'm not a gambling man but I'll win if I can

I refuse to go home by myself, all alone 
G                D           G   D  A 
Nobody else understands but you 
     G   D   A      G   D   A 
But you,        but you

I'm not a gambling man but I lose when I am

I'll take every chance I can get with you

I refuse to go home by myself, all alone 
G                 D         G   D  A 
Nobody else understands but you 
      G    D    A 
Just you 

D 
Take me to Coney Island 
          G		     D 
Where the air will clear my mind 
       G		     D		        A 
Where nobody can hurt me and nobody can push me aside
