Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I've been so in love

I stutter as my life unfolds Don't ask you won't be told

[G/f#]

(Band Enters)

You broke the promise

I'm lying on the floor tonight To dream of all

those empty memories

of singing on that carousel we'd ride together

Chorus

Hey Mother hey hey mother why do you cry?

Tell me what the birds have said about my father

Hey father hey hey father what do you know?

Lovers on the carousel won't ride forever

Verse 2

I walk to the ocean

I'm looking through kaleidoscopes to see the colors

Don't saw, you saw the writing on the walls

If you believe simple words will make a difference

Bridge

[G/f#]

Sick sick my heart

Sick sick my heart

I want to die so that I can stop this crying

[G/f#]

Then back into the chorus, end on Emin
