Stayed Too Long At Fair

Chorus:
      F
        We've stayed too long,much too long at the fair
                                        C/G
        The sweet cotton candy smell of love has left the air

        They're tearing down the happy rides and they'll move 'em God 
knows where

        We're standing here alone and the laughter is all gone
                                           F
        I think we stayed too long at the fair


Verse 1:
      F
        Only fools and little children refuse to realize
                                                           C/G
        That a fairground's painted lanterns are just lights in your 
eyes

        The ferris wheels and roller coaster rides they all have to end
                                                       F
        And everybody has to come back down to earth again


Chorus.


Verse 2:(four tones higher)
      D
        We thought that big calliope would never end its song
                                                                 A
        But we should have known that a merry-go-round can only turn so
 long

        I guess we just weren't ready for the carnival to end
        So we stood there frightened and alone when the real world set 
A
in

Chorus bis:(half a tone higher)
      E
        We've stayed too long,much too long at the fair
                                         B
        The sweet cotton candy smell of love has left the air

        They're tearing down the happy rides and they'll move 'em God 
knows where

        We're standing here alone and the laughter is all gone
                                           E
        I think we stayed too long at the fair
