VERSE 1:  (Just pick the exact same pattern, with the chords indicated above) 
F     		G		       Am			 
 If shame had a face, I think it would kind of look like mine. 
F	     G			  Am	 
 If it had a home, would it be my eyes? 
F     	     G	   	   Am		     F 
 Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this? 
F	      E 
 Well here we go, now, one more time.     
 
(Here's how the last line is played, beginning with the 'F' on the word 'this') 
    F			      E 
Eb|---------------------------0---| 
Bb|---------------------------0---| 
Gb|---------------------------1---|	 You just strum the E once. 
Db|-------3------------3------2---| 
Ab|----3-----3------3-----3---2---| 
Eb|-1------------1------------0---| 
 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
(The pattern for this part is  Am, Em, F, and then a fill, here's how it's played) 
    Am    Em    F    fill   Am 
Eb|-0-----0-----1-----------0----| 
Bb|-1-----0-----1-----------1----|   You don't just strum those chords each once, 
Gb|-2-----0-----2-----------2----|   like I wrote them, you strum them the way the 
Db|-2-----2-----3-----------2----|   song goes, I was just showing the little fill. 
Ab|-0-----2-----3----3--2---0----| 
Eb|-x-----0-----1-----------x----| 
 
Am           Em		       F           (FILL)      Am 
  I tried to climb your steps,  I tried to chase you down. 
	   Em	    F		    	 (FILL)   
I tried to see how, low I could get down to the ground and, 
Am	     Em		  F	      (FILL)       Am 
  I tried to earn my way,  I tried to change this mind, 
	     Em                 F        G 
You better believe that I have, tried to be this. 
 
 
CHORUS: 
C		    G	  
  So when will this end, it goes on and on 
Dm		     Am 
  Over and over, and over again. 
C		  G 
  Keeps spinnin' around, I know that it won't stop, 
Dm	        Am 
  Till I stand down, from this for good. 
 
 
INTERLUDE:  (Guitar 1 strums the indicated chords above the riff) 
    F		G	    Am		  F	      G		  Am

VERSE 2:  (Play like verse 1, but the chords are strummed now) 
F        G		    Am		 
 I never thought I'd end up here, never, 
F		G		 Am    <--That's a coincidence, A minor (Am) above 'am' 
 thought I'd be standing where I am. 
  F				G	     Am 
I guess I kinda thought that it would be easier, than this, 
  F		    E 
I guess, well I was wrong now, one more time. 
 
 
PRE-CHORUS:  (Play exactly like first pre-chorus) 
I tried to climb your steps, I tried to chase you down, 
I tried to see how, low I could get down to the ground and, 
I tried to earn my way, I tried to change this mind, 
You better believe that I have, tried to be this. 
 
 
CHORUS:  (Play like first chorus) 
So when will this end, it goes on and on, 
Over and over, and over again. 
Keeps spinning around, I know that it won't stop, 
Till I stand down from this for good. 
 
 
BRIDGE:  (It's the exact same pattern as the pre-chorus:  Am, Em, F, (fill) 
Am      Em    F	        (FILL)    Am      Em	F	 (FILL) 
  Sick Cycle Carousel, this is a,   Sick Cycle Carousel 
Am 	Em    F		(FILL)	  Am	  Em	F	    E 
  Sick Cycle Carousel, this is a,   Sick Cycle Carrrrr,  uh-huhh

So when will this end, it goes on and on, 
Over and over, and over again. 
Keeps spinning around, I know that it won't stop, 
Till I stand down from this for good.
