[Verso 1]
 
Bm            D 
Turns out the gavel is broken 
A                       E 
The paint chips and the mirror gets cracked 
Bm       D                A                  E 
I wasnt one to believe it 'til I went and became like that 
Bm             D 
But I like the glitter that haunts you 
A                           E 
Floating through you like a little wild child 
Bm           D             A               E 
So can you remind me of all the reasons we try to 
Bm          D 
Hold on the merry-go-round 
A                  E            Bm 
Spinning on, never settling down 
   D         A  E 
As time goes on 
 


[Refrão]
 
          Bm   D 
So tell me the green in your eyes 
A               E 
Still holds our American secret 
Bm         D              A           E 
I lost the way of my smile some time ago 
Bm                 D 
Its not much, but can I imagine 
A                        E 
I'm not saying we should dress for a pageant 
Bm          D                     A 
But I need a white lie to believe in 
                  E           Bm  D   A E 
And its hidden in our American Secret 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Bm             D 
Turns out that I'm a broke mantra 
A                       E 
And youre every bit of indigo 
Bm                    D 
The kind of song that wraps around you 
A                 E 
The synonym for a velvet robe 
Bm             D 
And you know I wanna be someone 
A                   E 
I wanna make a name out of these chords 
Bm               D 
But now that Im broken from the long run 
A                   E 
I think all I wanna be is yours 
Bm          D 
Hold on the merry-go-round 
A                  E            Bm 
Spinning on, never settling down 
   D         A  E 
As time goes on

A               E

A           E          F#m      D 
I know that all we can do is try 
    A              E       Bm 
The rest isn't ours to mind
