[Chorus]
DAb7on’t put your fDbaith in your friends on the feAbrris wDbheel
Who lGbaugh as it sAbpins round and rDbound
For siGbtting in its cAbhair, you are bDbound to go no-wGbhere
But Dbup, far eAbnough, to come dDbown.
[Verse 1]
AAb7nd when you wDbave to the ladies who all cAblap their hDbands
In tGbime to the rhyAbthm of your tDbune
Just remGbember as you Abdo, they neDbver really loGbved you
For they sDbee you by the liAbght of the mDboon
[Chorus]
DAb7on’t put your fDbaith in your friends on the feAbrris wDbheel
Who lGbaugh as it sAbpins round and rDbound
For siGbtting in its cAbhair, you are bDbound to go no-wGbhere
But Dbup, far eAbnough, to come dDbown.
[Instrumental]
A7 Db Ab Db Gb Ab Db Gb Ab Db Gb Db Ab Db
[Verse 2]
AAb7nd when the mDban who owns the circus puts the gAbames aDbway
Your lGbeft with your tiAbckets in your hDband
Don't get lGbost so eaAbsily, for Dbyou can come to mGbe
Just adDbmit, that had alAbways been the pDblan
[Chorus]
DAb7on’t put your fDbaith in your friends on the feAbrris wDbheel
Who lGbaugh as it sAbpins round and rDbound
For siGbtting in its cAbhair, you are bDbound to go no-wGbhere
But Dbup, far eAbnough, to come dDbown.
But Dbup, far eAbnough, to come dDbown.

[Chorus]

Ab7 Db Ab Db

Don’t put your faith in your friends on the ferris wheel

Who laugh as it spins round and round

For sitting in its chair, you are bound to go no-where

But up, far enough, to come down.

And when you wave to the ladies who all clap their hands

For they see you by the light of the moon

Don’t put your faith in your friends on the ferris wheel

Who laugh as it spins round and round

And when the man who owns the circus puts the games away

Your left with your tickets in your hand

Don't get lost so easily, for you can come to me

Db Ab Db

Just admit, that had always been the plan

[Chorus]

Don’t put your faith in your friends on the ferris wheel

Who laugh as it spins round and round
