(Chorus 1) play without lyrics as intro Verse 1: Ab C# The carousel begins to slow, I take my chances Ab C# So far removed, I fail to see Fm C# The recklessness I've shown in all my words and deeds Cm Eb The good in other souls I never fail to see Chorus 1: Ab C# Can you see the light - As far as the eyes can see Ab 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: Ab C# In want of courage - It is as a shield for me Ab 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# Eb Fm The greatest words would still fail me now. Fm C# Eb These emotions I cannot describe. Fm C# Eb Ab I want to be where I don't need to hide myself C# Eb Ab And remain there until the end of time. Fm C# Eb Fm The gods play games with mortal hearts Fm C# Eb As the carousel goes 'round. Fm C# Eb Ab As I looked on, I saw the crowds C# Eb Ab who gathered walk away. (Chorus 1) (Chorus 2) Outro: Fm Eb Fm Fm Eb Fm Eb Ab Eb Ab
