Intro:

Am Em (x2)

    Am
The lights still in our eyes, 
      C                Am         Em
We're leaving this old fairground behind,
       D
It's a dream that's growing cold
     Am
The circus never dies, 
    C           Am           Em
The eye forever haunts these skies,
  D
I know I cannot stay


F        G     Am          Em                  G
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working any more
F       G       Am        Em         G
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw


Am Em (x2)

     Am
This place used to gleam,
  C            Am      Em
I see it in my hopeful dreams,
      D
Now I have to get away.
   Am
We move towards the stars,
    C           Am            Em
And all that we touch becomes ours,
      D
Let's keep warm til it's day


F        G     Am          Em                  G
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working any more
F       G       Am        Em         G
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw


F     G          Am           C  
We'll head south just hold my hand now,
Em              G
I feel like I'm casting off my clothes,
        F                   G                Am
And I'm running through the snow towards the sunset,
        Em          G
And I'm always with you


C  G Am

C
Keep on running, keep keep on running
        G                           Am
There's no place like home, there's no place like home  (x2) (palm mute)
C
Keep on running, keep keep on running
        G                           Am
There's no place like home, there's no place like home  (x5)



F        G     Am          Em                  G
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working any more
F       G       Am        Em         G
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw


F     G          Am           C 
We'll head south just hold my hand now,
Em              G
I feel like I'm casting off my clothes,
        F                   G                Am
And I'm running through the snow towards the sunset,
        Em          G
And I'm always with you


F  Am  Em  G (x3)
F  Am  Em  G  Am (single strum)
