[Verse 1]
F#maj7 G#m
There's a carnival in town
F#maj7 G#m
Walking your dog past the old fairground
F#maj7 G#m
From inside we hear screaming and laughter
F#maj7 G#m
From roller coasters and merry-go-rounds
[Instrumental]
F#maj7 D#m
F#maj7 D#m
[Verse 2]
F#maj7 G#m
Lately you've been a wreck
F#maj7 G#m
Life called, it wanted its dreams back
F#maj7 G#m
I'm here if you want to chat
F#maj7 G#m
Or just keep my mouth shut, if you prefer that
[Instrumental]
F#maj7 D#m
F#maj7 D#m
[Verse 3]
F#maj7 G#m
The lonely cry of a seagull (You say)
F#maj7 G#m
I say, "Let's do something illegal
F#maj7 G#m
Let's get ourselves in trouble
F#maj7 G#m
Let's just live a little"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A#m7 D#7 G#m
So when the moon rolled in over the buildings like bowling pins
A#m7 D#7 G#m
We climbed over the wired fences, you dropped one of your contact lenses
A#m7 D#7 G#m A#m B C#7
Past the point of slumbering seals up the hill to the Ferris wheel
[Chorus]
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
[Verse 4]
F#maj7 G#m
From up here I can see all the way to the royal palace
F#maj7 G#m
Where did you develop those hot-wiring talents?
F#maj7 G#m
I say, "My brother was an electrician
F#maj7 N.C.
But when he was younger he had other ambitions"
[Instrumental]
F#maj7 D#m
F#maj7 D#m
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#maj7 G#m
I say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad
song"
F#maj7 G#m
You say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad
song"
F#maj7 G#m
I say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad
song"
F#maj7 G#m
I say, "Okay, if I'm gonna write a song about this I promise I won't make it a
sad song"
A#m D#7 G#m A#m B C#7
You'll go like this: woo!
[Chorus]
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
F#maj7 D#m
Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
