(Chorus 1) play without lyrics as intro
Verse 1:
[G#] The carousel begins to [C#]slow, I take my chances
[G#] So far removed, I fail[C#] to see
[Fm] The recklessness I've shown in [C#]all my words and deeds
[Cm] The good in other souls I [D#]never fail to see
Chorus 1:
Can you see the[G#] light - As far a[C#]s the eyes can see
From this [G#]point above the world - Where mortals [C#]dare their destiny
As it [Fm]radiates, may I witness [C#]open-eyed
Let me re[Cm]main where there is [C#]light
Chorus 2:
In want of [G#]courage - It is as a [C#]shield for me
In want of [G#]hope - It reassures and[C#] carries me
As it [Fm]radiates, may I witness op[C#]en-eyed
Let me re[Cm]main where there is [C#]light
Verse 2:
Letting go was never easy
Risking all for what I wanted, never needed
Deliberated whether I should serve the cause of greater things
As we moved worlds apart
(Chorus 1)
Silent part:
The [Fm]greatest words[C#] would still [D#]fail me n[Fm]ow.
These e[Fm]motions I [C#]cannot des[D#]cribe.
I [Fm]want to be [C#]where I don't need to [D#]hide my[G#]self
And re[C#]main there until the [D#]end of [G#]time.
The [Fm]gods play [C#]games with [D#]mortal hearts[Fm]
As the [Fm]carousel [C#]goes '[D#]round.
As [Fm]I looked [C#]on, I[D#] saw the c[G#]rowds
who [C#]gathered [D#]walk away[G#].
(Chorus 1)
