E
[Verse 1]
E A
Hush was the first word you were taught
E
And they watched you wear
A
The clothes they claimed that they bought
C#m7
They brought you down
F#m A
To watch the merry-go around
[Verse 2]
E A
In fall, you knew how much it cost
E
A trouble doll
A
Around your neck when you lost
C#m7
You wouldn't make a sound
F#m A
But I could hear your little heart pound
E
And I watched your feet slip off the ground
[Chorus]
A
Merry go round in dreams
E
Writes 'em down, it seems
A
When she sleeps, she's free
E A B E
Merry go round in dreams
[Verse 3]
E A
You wake to another day and find
E A
The wind's blowing out of key with your sky
C#m7
Only you can see
F#m A
And the rain dancing in the night
E
Everybody stands around in delight
[Chorus]
A
Merry go round in dreams
E
Writes 'em down, it seems
A
When she sleeps, she's free
E A B E
Merry go round in dreams

And everybody thinks she's sick

She's got two worlds she can pick

And she's sad

[Verse 4]
E A
Hush is the only word you know
E
And I stopped listening long ago
A
They ignored me with a smile
C#m7
You as a child
F#m A
But the trouble doll hears your heart pound
E
And your feet they say goodbye to the ground
[Chorus]
A
Merry go round in dreams
E
Writes 'em down, it seems
A
When she sleeps, she's free
E A B E
Merry go round in dreams
[Outro]

Merry go round in dreams

Merry go round

Merry go round in me

Round and round in me

Merry go round in me
