(Verse 1)
E E7
One more time around
Am G
I can't stop this carousel
E E7
I've tried so long
Am G
to no avail
C#m A
I've tried each
horse on here
C#m Ab
still no new scenery
C#m A
I'm dizzy
My stomach's sick
C#m
I'm tired
(I don't know the chords here, I'm working on it)
(bridge)
This I know,
Horses gold,
won't take me home.
(Verse 2)
Each horse here is
painted so pretty
Lifeless beauties
that orbit neatly
(chorus)
I see you
Go flying by
I've worn my
heels down
On this bame of tug-o-war
That I'm losing
(bridge)
Stepping down
kiss the ground
that will take me home.
