[Verse 1]
Am I loser or a Dfool?
And everything that I'm supAposed to be
Feels like I've fallen from Ggrace
And into a place where I belong
I know my body's getting Bmold
One day we will fall Emdown
But in my Dheart a drum is beating
A carniF#mval inside my Ahead
[Verse 2]
Before they turn the music Doff
Before they tell us to go Ahome again
Can I kiss your Gface
And tell you always I love you
Now, before we change our Bmminds
Can we go dancing Emsomewhere
Cause in my Dheart a drum is beating
A carniF#mval inside my Ahead
[Chorus]
And when we Emtalk in so many Gwords
We've got to Bmlive this Dlife a bit GhardAer
And when we Emthink in so many Gwords
We've got to Bmbring each Dother toGgethAer
We've got to Bmbring each Dother tGogetAher
Bm D G
[Verse 3]
Before we Awake up all Dalone
Before the rhythm has to Astart again
Can I watch you Gclimb?
Climb over the widths of history
You keep your medals in the Bmdrawer
I wonder who they're Emfor
Can we go Ddancing on the water?
A carniF#mval inside my Ahead
[Chorus]
And when we Emtalk in so many Gwords
We've got to Bmlive this Dlife a bit GhardAer
And when we Emthink in so many Gwords
We've got to Bmbring each Dother toGgethAer
We've got to Bmbring each Dother tGogethAer
We've got to Gbring each other toAgether
We've got to Bmbring each other toDgether
We've got to Embring each other toGgether
We've got to Bmbring each other toDgether

[Verse 1]

Am I loser or a fool?

And everything that I'm supposed to be

Feels like I've fallen from grace

And into a place where I belong

I know my body's getting old

One day we will fall down

But in my heart a drum is beating

F#m A

A carnival inside my head

[Verse 2]

Before they turn the music off

Before they tell us to go home again

Can I kiss your face

And tell you always I love you

Now, before we change our minds

Can we go dancing somewhere

Cause in my heart a drum is beating

F#m A

A carnival inside my head

[Chorus]

Em G

And when we talk in so many words

Bm D G A

We've got to live this life a bit harder

Em G

And when we think in so many words

Bm D G A

We've got to bring each other together

Bm D G A

We've got to bring each other together

Bm D G

[Verse 3]

A D

Before we wake up all alone

Before the rhythm has to start again

Can I watch you climb?

Climb over the widths of history

You keep your medals in the drawer

I wonder who they're for

Can we go dancing on the water?

F#m A

A carnival inside my head

[Chorus]

Em G

And when we talk in so many words

Bm D G A

We've got to live this life a bit harder

We've got to bring each other together

We've got to bring each other together

And inside my head, there is a carnival
