Capo 5

Am C G D

You and I are gonna get it right

Don't let me go

It takes two to make a leader but

One has to follow

Help me, help me understand

What we've become

We fell apart and then proceeded to

Both play the victim

On and on and on we go

Just like a carousel that's lost control

We don't know why, we don't know why

We go, we go, we go in circles

Am C G D

I want you more than anything

Just as you're leaving

For every wound there's an apology

That's lost its meaning

You and I, I think we're better off

Without each other

The last ride, the unavoidable

Keeps getting farther

On and on and on we go

Just like a carousel that's lost control

We don't know why, we don't know why

We go, we go, we go in circles

On and on and on we spin

To find an end where we begin

We don't know why, we don't know why

We go, we go, we go in circles

Am Em

Am C Em D

Ooooooooooooh Oooooooooooooh Oooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooh

G D Em C

On and on and on we go

Just like a carousel that's lost control

We don't know why, we don't know why

We go, we go, we go in circles

On and on and on we spin

To find an end where we begin

We don't know why, we don't know why

We go, we go, we go in circles

Am C G D
