Verse:
C      G              F
In the canyons of the great divide
C        G                  F
Familiar places that we can run and hide
Am              F
Are filled with strangers
G              Em      C     G  F
Walking in our houses alone

Chorus:
Csus4          C
In the great divide
Gsus4       G
Nothing to decide
Csus4           C          Gsus4  G
No one else to care for or love
F(viii)        C(viii)
In the great divide
Am(v)        F       C    G  F
You won't fit in too well

Verse:
On the horses of the carousel
She rides along with you and me
She rides like she knows
Wherever she goes we'll be there

Chorus:
On the carousel
Life is going well
Anyone can tell we're in love
On the carousel
You're gonna like the way you feel

(Repeat intro)

Verse:
You and I, we got lost down there
In the twisted canyons of the great divide
We walked the floor
Now we don't go there anymore

Chorus:
In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
I don't fit in too well

In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You won't fit in too well
