F
We've stayed too long,much too long at the fair
C/G
The sweet cotton candy smell of love has left the air
They're tearing down the happy rides and they'll move 'em God knows where
F
I think we stayed too long at the fair
F
Only fools and little children refuse to realize
C/G
That a fairground's painted lanterns are just lights in your eyes
The ferris wheels and roller coaster rides they all have to end
F
And everybody has to come back down to earth again
Chorus.
D
We thought that big calliope would never end its song
A
But we should have known that a merry-go-round can only turn so long
I guess we just weren't ready for the carnival to end
A
So we stood there frightened and alone when the real world set in
Chorus bis:(half a tone higher)
E
We've stayed too long,much too long at the fair
B
The sweet cotton candy smell of love has left the air
They're tearing down the happy rides and they'll move 'em God knows where
E
I think we stayed too long at the fair
