[Verse 1]
E B
Down on the midway
A E
The sideshow barkers say
B A E
"Step right up, y'all, I got a game you can't lose"
B
There's a sucker born every minute
A E
Long as the wheel keep on spinnin'
B A E
And one day, the hand of fate gonna land right on you
[Chorus]
A B
'Cause life is like a carnival ride
E A
And you're watchin' the ground disappear
F#m B E
And you're sayin', "Won't you stop this train and let me off right here?"
A B
And when everything is upside down
E A
It won't do you no good to despair
F#m B E
Just remember, we're all goin' 'round together at the lifе-ain't-fair
[Verse 2]
E B
Like the red ball in a gamе of cups
A E
That moves every time you lift one up
B A
Lookin' for love, you chose the wrong one again
E B
They'll fool you once, fool you twice
A E
You rolled a fool's pair of dice
B A E
And what you thought was gold is just an old piece of tin
[Chorus]
A B
'Cause life is like a carnival ride
E A
And you're watchin' the ground disappear
F#m B E
And you're sayin', "Won't you stop this train and let me off right here?"
A B
When everything is upside down
E A
It won't do you no good to despair
F#m B E
Just remember, we're all goin' 'round together at the life-ain't-fair

A B E (x2)
[Verse 3]
E B
Just like a funhouse mirror
A E
In a blur goes one more year
B A
And time is one thing your money can't buy
E B
So take your place in the freak show
A E
Let go of things beyond your control
B A E
And enjoy the view from that big wheel in the sky
[Chorus]
A B
'Cause life is like a carnival ride
E A
And you're watchin' the ground disappear
F#m B E
And you're sayin', "Won't you stop this train and let me off right here?"
A B
And when everything is upside down
E A
It won't do you no good to despair
F#m B E
Just remember, we're all goin' 'round together at the life-ain't-fair
[Outro]
F#m B E
Yeah, we've all got our tickets to the life-ain't-fair
F#m B E
'Cause there's something for everyone at the life-ain't-fair
