D/A                             C/D
   I stepped out onto the midway
Cadd9              D/A
     I was looking for the pirate ship and saw this small,
    C/D               Cadd9
old white tent at one end
D/A                                C/D             Cadd9
   It was blue and had white lights   hanging all around it
D/A C/D Cadd9 D/A
                 I decided to check out the tent,
C/D                 Cadd9            D/A               C/D
   it seemed like I could hear music coming from inside
            Cadd9
As I walked toward it,
D/A                                        C/D Cadd9
I  passed a crowd of people at the sideshow
D/A
   I couldn't figure out why they would want to wait in

line
D/A                                         C/D
   I pulled back the drape thing on the tent
            Cadd9               D/A
There was a crystal ball at the table, and behind it,
                    C/D Cadd9    D/A
a girl wearing a hat         She smiled,
                                        C/D Cadd9
and asked me if I wanted my fortune read         I said,
      D/A            C/D
"Okay"   and sat down
       Cadd9                  D/A
Then I thought about it for a minute,
                                     C/D
and asked her if she would rather go on the roller
     Cadd9
coaster instead

[Verse 1]
A7sus4 Ebmaj7 G5/Ab D A7sus4 Ebmaj7 G5/Ab D
A         Fmaj7  A7sus4   Ebmaj7   G5/Ab D
 Creeping up   into    the      sky
A         Fmaj7 A7sus4
 Stopping,      at    the top,
Ebmaj7    G5/Ab D
and   then       starting down
A7sus4         Ebmaj7     G5/Ab
      The girl grabbed my hand,
D
 I clutched it tight
A7sus4           Ebmaj7
      I said goodbye
G5/Ab       D
     to the ground
A Fmaj7 A7sus4 Ebmaj7 G5/Ab D A Fmaj7 A7sus4 Ebmaj7 G5/Ab D

      Far below, a soiled man
A bucket of torn tickets at his side
He watches the children run by
And cleans his teeth

[Verse 2]
A7sus4
      Spinning round,
   Ebmaj7  G5/Ab   D
my head  began  to turn
A7sus4
      I shouted,
Ebmaj7    G5/Ab   D
      and searched the sky for a friend
A  Fmaj7     A7sus4  Ebmaj7
 I heard the fortune teller,
G5/Ab D
       screaming back at me
A   Fmaj7         A7sus4    Ebmaj7    G5/Ab D
 We stuck out our hands and met   the wind

[Interlude]
Amadd9
      The girl falters as she steps down from the platform
She clutches her stomach,
and begins to heave
The ticket taker smiles,
and the last car is ready
                                    D
"Who told you that you could leave?"

D/A                                       C/D
   The sun was setting by the time we left
Cadd9                D/A
     We walked across   the deserted lot,
     C/D Cadd9 D/A
alone             We were tired,
       C/D             Cadd9
but we managed to smile
D/A C/D Cadd9
D/A                                    C/D           Cadd9
   At the gate I said goodnight to the fortune teller
D/A                                        C/D
   The carnival sign threw colored shadows on her face,
Cadd9
D/A                         C/D     Cadd9 C C/A# D/A
   but I could tell she was blushing
