G             C            G
Red blinking lights pull me in
   G          C                G
Standing in line, waiting for a spin
  D
Let my feet leave the ground
       Em               C
Be a building standing tall
  Am                             D
Fall in love with the rise and the fall

[Chorus]
              C                                   G
While I am waiting at the bottom dreaming of the top
     C                                    G
Sometimes I want on it, sometimes I want off
           Em                                          C
I could stand there watching but I never know how it feels
       Am  D              G
Riding high on a Ferris wheel

[Verse 2]
  G             C                    G
Just when you think you know how it ends
  G                    C                    G
Turns you in circles back to the beginning again
     D                            Em                           C
Sometimes what you're afraid of is what's going to take you there
          Am                                   D
And the view is better when it's all up in the air

[Chorus]
              C                                        G
While you're waiting at the bottom dreaming of the top
      C                                          G
Sometimes you want on it, sometimes you want off
          Em                                      C      G
I could stand there watching but I never know it feels
         Am         D      G
Riding high on a Ferris wheel

[Bridge]
D                                    G
As sure as you go up, you will come down
 D                                        G
And if you let go it always comes back around

[Chorus]
                C                                    G
While you're waiting at the bottom dreaming of the top
        C                                        G
Sometimes you want on it, sometimes you want off
          Em                                       C
I could stand there watching but I never know it feels
       Am   D             Em
Riding high on a Ferris wheel
       Am   D             G    C    G
Riding high on a Ferris wheel

[Refrain]
  G             C            G
Red blinking lights pull me in
   G          C
Standing in line, waiting for a spin
