Intro: A

 Verse: 1 

   A           E            A 
 I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel  
   A                              D 
 a pastel colored carriage in the air  
   Bm                     F#7            Bm 
 I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while  
   Bm            Bm7           E 
 a silly twist upon a childish dare  

Verse: 2 

   A             E               A 
 Below I saw you whispering to another man  
     A                                  D 
 who held the lever that could bring me down  
      Bm                  F#7        Bm 
 he'd stop the world from turning at your command  
      Bm               Bm7                 E 
 it's always something cruel that laughter drowns
