Jens Lekman - Hotwire the ferris wheel

^F#maj7There's a carnival in ^G#mtown ^F#maj7Walking your dog past^G#m the old fairground ^F#maj7From inside we hear sc^G#mreaming and laughter ^F#maj7From roller coasters ^G#mand merry-go-rounds

^F#maj7Lately you've been a wr^G#meck ^F#maj7Life called, it wanted its d^G#mreams back ^F#maj7I'm here if you want to c^G#mhat ^F#maj7Or just keep my mouth shut, ^G#mif you prefer that

^F#maj7The lonely cry of a se^G#magull (You say) ^F#maj7I say, "Let's do something^G#m illegal ^F#maj7Let's get ourselv^G#mes in trouble ^F#maj7Let's just live^G#m a little"

^A#m7So when the moon rolled in^D#7 over^G#m the buildings like bowling pins ^A#m7We climbed over the wired fenc^D#7es, you ^G#mdropped one of your contact lenses ^A#m7Past the point of slumbering ^D#7seals ^G#mup the ^A#mhill to the F^Berris w^C#7heel

^F#maj7From up here I can see all the ^G#mway to the royal palace ^F#maj7Where did you develop those hot-w^G#miring talents? ^F#maj7I say, "My brother was an electrician ^G#m F#maj7 N.C. But when he was younger he had other ambitions"

^F#maj7I say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then p^G#mlease don't make it a sad song" ^F#maj7You say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then p^G#mlease don't make it a sad song" ^F#maj7I say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then p^G#mlease don't make it a sad song" ^F#maj7I say, "Okay, if I'm gonna write a song ab^G#mout this I promise I won't make it a sad song" ^A#mYou'll go like t^D#7his: ^G#mwoo!^{A#m B C#7}
