Dm                F               C        
I could have run away with a carnival girl
Dm                    F         C
If were not for my foolish pride
Dm                      F           C     
Because under the lights of the Ferris wheel
Dm                    F     C
She promised me every prize

C       Am           G
Lalalalaaaa  lalalalaaaaa

Am                      C               G
There’s not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans
Am              C                    G
I never seem to say quite what I mean
        Am                      C
Well I drink too much and I think too much
        G               F            Am           G             Am
And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn’t change for the world
Am              G             Am
I wouldn’t change for the world

Well I sang for my supper 
and I sang for my soul
I sang out across the bay
And I’ve been waiting here for my ship to come in
I know it’ll be here some day
Some day soon lalalalaaaaa

Am                      C               G
There’s not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans
Am              C                    G
I never seem to say quite what I mean
        Am                      C
Well I think too much and I drink too much
        G               F            Am           G             Am
And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn’t change for the world
Am              G             Am
I wouldn’t change for the world

(Solo)

Could have been a carpenter and I could have been a thief
But then again its so hard to say
Cause I sit under the light of the morning sun
and I watch the carnival roll away
Lalala life lalala life
(chorus 1)
