  Verse 1:

           A                        E 

  	Now i've been quite the traveler

                F#m             C#m

  	Ever since i hit the road

                   D              A

  	And the sullen county carnival

               D               E 

  	Has been my earn in gold

  

  

  Verse 2:

           A                E  

  	I've been quite alone

  	 F#m              C#m

  	Since i remember when

             D             A

  	I turned my ultimatums

                 D        E          A 

  	Into chips and cashed them in

  

  

  Verse 3:

           A                   E

  	I used to run the Ferris wheel

               F#m               C#m 

  	But that'd be hard to prove

                    D              A      

  	I can't stand to see a rolling wheel

             D                    E

  	Propped up so it can't move

  

  

  Verse 4:

           A                   E  

  	I used to run the carousel

               F#m                    C#m  

  	Hell,that's just round and round

             D                       A

  	I never liked to see them ponies

                  D       E      A 

  	Painted up and bolted down

  

  

  Chorus:

            A                  E              F#m             D  

  	The only thing that keeps me from stayin' here is leavin'

            A                  E               F#m             D  

  	The only thing that saves me from it all is i'll be gone

           A                  E               F#m               D 

  	Just when i could trust in all the things that i believe in

           A               E          F#m  

  	I had to pack it up and move along

              D                           E           A  

  	And i'll tell you the boys i'm not the only one

  

  

  Verse 5:

           A                           E

  	I was a straight man at the ring toss

               F#m             C#m

  	But that was just a jaunt

               D                A            

  	I can't see throwin' rings around 

              D                    E 

  	Things you don't really want

  

  

  Verse 6:

           A                          E 

  	I could run the roller coaster

               F#m                 C#m

  	But that might break my heart

              D          A

  	So much hard travelin'

                   D        E         A  

  	Just to wind up where you start

  

  	

  Verse 7:

           A                   E 

  	Now i just work the gateway

              F#m            C#m

  	And i'm pretty satisfied

              D               A 

  	My little booth is red and blue

              D             E

  	And i just sit inside

  

  

  Verse 8:

           A                E

  	I just take your money

                   F#m             C#m 

  	And give tickets out in trade

            D          A     

  	Think about my life

                        D   E     A

  	And all the promises i made

  

  

  Chorus bis:

  

  	  A                  E              F#m             D  

  	The only thing that keeps me from stayin' here is leavin'

            A                  E               F#m             D  

  	The only thing that saves me from it all is i'll be gone

           A                  E               F#m               D 

  	Just when i could trust in all the things that i believe in

           A               E          F#m  

  	I had to pack it up and move along

              D                           E           F#m  

  	And i'll tell you the boys i'm not the only one

                 D                 E                 A

    	Who's runnin' from the things he's left undone
