Capo 2

G
Well these old carnival lights
Em
Won't let her eyes sleep tonight
G                            Em
She's sitting on the top Ferris wheel car
        C             Em
Thinking it ain't such a long way down
C             Em           C     Em     B7
Failure's such a long cold fall

G Em G Em

G
Well this life, these grounds are her sin
Em
Jump on a merry-go-round that don't even spin
G                                            Em
Waiting on the world to turn circles round her eyes

    C               Em           C        Em     C     Em
But it don't play her out tonight it never does anytime
B7
So she stays lonely

C      Em          G G/F#Em
Well her poisonous and medicine bottle
C        Em             GG/F# Em
Filled with nothing but her own short comings
   C                         Em                    G    G/F#Em
She leans her head back and she puts them down and they taste alright
          C            D         G
She's just trying to stay conscious tonight

G Em G Em

G
I saw her on a Sunday
Em
I never saw her again they said she's fading away
G                                           Em
She's a ghost haunting a house that ain't even hers
G
She's locked her self up in her room
Em
She's moanin the devil well she's howling at the moon
G                                                 Em
And they think that she could be saved by her mama's voice

   C           Em              C        Em    C       Em
But it don't play around tonight it never does anytime
B7
So she stays lonely

C     Em          GG/F#Em
Well her poisonous and medicine bottles
C        Em            G G/F#Em
Filled with nothing but her own shortcomings
   C                     Em                G   G/F# Em
She leans her head back she puts them down they taste alright
          C            D         G
She's just trying to stay conscious tonight

G Em G Em

C9                       F#m                                G
Red and blue lights and the sirens through her shutters make the shadows dance 
    G/F#             Em
like demons through her room
C9                       D             G
Her eyes are rolling up her night is ending soon

G
Well these old carnival lights
Em
Won't let her eyes sleep tonight
G                          G
She's sitting on a top Ferris wheel car
           B7
She's going down

C     Em          G G/F#Em
Well her poisonous and medicine bottle
C        Em            G G/F#Em                   
Filled with nothing but her own short comings
C                        Em                    G   G/F#Em
She leans her head back she puts them down and they taste alright
          C            D         G
She's just trying to stay conscious tonight
