(Chorus 1) play without lyrics as intro Verse 1: G# C# The carousel begins to slow, I take my chances G# C# So far removed, I fail to see Fm C# The recklessness I've shown in all my words and deeds Cm D# The good in other souls I never fail to see Chorus 1: G# C# Can you see the light - As far as the eyes can see G# C# From this point above the world - Where mortals dare their destiny Fm C# As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed Cm C# Let me remain where there is light Chorus 2: G# C# In want of courage - It is as a shield for me G# C# In want of hope - It reassures and carries me Fm C# As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed Cm C# Let me remain where there is light Verse 2: Letting go was never easy Risking all for what I wanted, never needed Deliberated whether I should serve the cause of greater things As we moved worlds apart (Chorus 1) Silent part: Fm C# D# Fm The greatest words would still fail me now. Fm C# D# These emotions I cannot describe. Fm C# D# G# I want to be where I don't need to hide myself C# D# G# And remain there until the end of time. Fm C# D# Fm The gods play games with mortal hearts Fm C# D# As the carousel goes 'round. Fm C# D# G# As I looked on, I saw the crowds C# D# G# who gathered walk away. (Chorus 1) (Chorus 2) Outro: Fm D# Fm Fm D# Fm D# G# D# G#
