I heard that there's a [Dm]carnival
The music there is loud, the lights are [A]wonderful
No one makes it out, they welcome [A#maj7]you with grins
But once you're in, [A]you will never be the same again
Let the games be[Dm]gin
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-[A]mm, mm-mm-mm
Let the games be[A#]gin
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm[A#maj7], mm-mm-mm
Verse 1
[Dm]You can see the show any time you like
[A7]When you feel alone, [A]that's when they arrive
[A#]Knockin' on your door, callin' in the night
[A7]How could you ignore such a lovely time
Pre-Chorus
[Dm]Lights and prizes everywhere you look
[A7]Anything to keep you hooked
[A#maj7]Empty smiles everywhere you turn
[A]Not a single lesson learned
