[Intro]
 A   F#m   E   C#m   D   Bm   C#m   Ex2
[Verse]
AI think I had I more luck at my other Ejob
On the way to the top
Grab drinks at the botDtom, soldiers on the mantle, a pain in my sC#mide
Take a cheap Espin and say it’s all Aright
AStarting little fires is my middle name
EI smoke what I got when I can’t relate
DI got to fix my eyes on the future two C#mthousands
ESpins
AGet myself fat, get myself Ethin
Trotting through life with occasional Dwins
Thought it’d be cool to calm my C#mwits
EOops
AOn this ride I’m the Captain
EAll my friends call me Shackleton
With one Deye, I ride high
Got magic wands, A/C#unicorns and Eaction
[Interlude]
Bm  A  C#m  Bm
[Chorus]
ARound and F#mround and round I Ego
Hoping C#mfor a miraDcle
I got no Bmplace to run and C#mhide
I guess I’ll take a Espin on the carousel Aride
Just the F#mway the stars aligEn
Not a rC#meason to get blDindBm  
ASo take another Espin on the carousel Aride
[Instrumental]
 A   F#m   E   C#m   D   Bm   C#m   Ex2
[Bridge]
BmI think I was a bird in another lAife
Maybe that’s why I’m prone to flC#might
And I do like Bmheights
BmWhen all the strongest winds are blowing my way
AThen the reaper comes to take my breath away
C#mYeah I go
And I Bmdance in the fire
And then I do it again
[Chorus]
ARound and F#mround and round I Ego
Hoping C#mfor a miraDcle
I got no Bmplace to run and C#mhide
I guess I’ll take a Espin on the carousel Aride
