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
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
E A
and I'm up while the dawn is breaking
A7 D
even though my heart is aching
D#dim7
I should be drinking a toast
E
to absent friends
Fdim7 A E
instead of these comedians
A E A
I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
A D
the wind picks up, the carriage starts sway
F#m C# F#m
as one by one the lights go out it's closing time
E A
I see you take his hand and walk away, walk away
A E A
They say that you will always be the last to know
A D
they say that all that glitters is not gold
F#m C# F#m
it's not just that you're never coming back to me
E
it's the bitter way that I was told
A D
and I'm up while the dawn is breaking
D7 G
even though my heart is aching
G#dim7
I should be drinking a toast
A
to absent friends
A7 D
instead of these comedians
