	        Verse 1: 
         A                        E  
	Now i've been quite the traveler 
              F#m             C#m 
	Ever since i hit the road 
                 D              A 
	And the sullen county carnival 
             D               E  
	Has been my earn in gold 
 
 
Verse 2: 
         A                E   
	I've been quite alone 
	 F#m              C#m 
	Since i remember when 
           D             A 
	I turned my ultimatums 
               D        E          A  
	Into chips and cashed them in 
 
 
Verse 3: 
         A                   E 
	I used to run the Ferris wheel 
             F#m               C#m  
	But that'd be hard to prove 
                  D              A       
	I can't stand to see a rolling wheel 
           D                    E 
	Propped up so it can't move 
 
 
Verse 4: 
         A                   E   
	I used to run the carousel 
             F#m                    C#m   
	Hell,that's just round and round 
           D                       A 
	I never liked to see them ponies 
                D       E      A  
	Painted up and bolted down 
A E F#m D The only thing that keeps me from stayin' here is leavin' A E F#m D The only thing that saves me from it all is i'll be gone A E F#m D Just when i could trust in all the things that i believe in A E F#m I had to pack it up and move along D E A And i'll tell you the boys i'm not the only one
Verse 5: A E I was a straight man at the ring toss F#m C#m But that was just a jaunt D A I can't see throwin' rings around D E Things you don't really want Verse 6: A E I could run the roller coaster F#m C#m But that might break my heart D A So much hard travelin' D E A Just to wind up where you start Verse 7: A E Now i just work the gateway F#m C#m And i'm pretty satisfied D A My little booth is red and blue D E And i just sit inside Verse 8: A E I just take your money F#m C#m And give tickets out in trade D A Think about my life D E A And all the promises i made Chorus bis: A E F#m D The only thing that keeps me from stayin' here is leavin' A E F#m D The only thing that saves me from it all is i'll be gone A E F#m D Just when i could trust in all the things that i believe in A E F#m I had to pack it up and move along D E F#m And i'll tell you the boys i'm not the only one D E A Who's runnin' from the things he's left undone
