[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][Dsus4][G]

[Verse 1]
I found you [Em]sitting
on a suitcase [D]cry[Dsus4]ing
Be[G]neath my feet,
I feel the [Em]rumble of a subway
[Dsus4]train[C][Dsus4]
[G]I laugh out loud,
'Cause it's the [Em]one thing I
hadn't been [Dsus4]trying[C][G]
The train came in breathless,
The [Em]pas senger's restless
You say, [Dsus4]"Baby,
you'll never [D]change"[C]
You gotta [G]get gone,

[Verse 2]
you gotta get go[Am]ing
Hey, the [C]world ain't slowing
[D]down [Dsus4]for no one[G]
It's a carnival [Am]callin' out to [C]you[D]
It [Dsus4]sounds like a [G]song,
Hits you like [Am]scripture
You paint the [C]picture
With colors squeezed
[D]from your han[Dsus4]d
[G]Weren't you the kid
Who [Am]just climbed on
the merry-go-round
Hey [C]Hey Hey look, the [D]world
ain't slowing [G]down[Em]
Hey, [Dsus4]hey, the worl[C]d
ain't [G]slow[Em]ing down
[Dsus4]Hey, hey[D][Dsus4][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Out on the sidewalk,
[Em]Pi geon's do the moonwalk
I'll be [D]dancing like [C]Fred [G]Astaire
The lamppost's are rockin'
[Em]The whole town's talkin'
Like [Dsus4]a fool in a barber's[D] ch[C]air
[Dsus4]And I get t[G]he sensation,
[Em]The joy and frustration
Like being [D]caught by a tropical [C]rain[G]
Freedom can numb you,
When there's [Em]no place to run to
It [D]feels just like Novocaine

[Verse 4]
[C]You gotta get gon[G]e,
you gotta get go[Am]ing
Hey the [C]world ain't slowin'
[D]down for [Dsus4]no one[G]
It's a carnival [Am]callin' out to you
[C](It's callin' out to you)
[D]It sounds like a s[Dsus4]ong,[G]
Hits you like [Am]scripture
You paint the pic[C]ture
With colors [D]squeezed from
your [Dsus4]hand[D]
[G]Weren't you the kid
Who just [Am]climbed on the merry-go-round
Hey [C]Hey Hey look,
the [D]world ain't [Dsus4]slow in' [D]down[G][Em]
Hey, [Dsus4]hey,
the [C]world ain't [G]slowing [Em]down
Hey, hey
[D][Dsus4][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
You packed up all your handbags,
Throwing off the sandbags
I let [C]go and you stepped [D]free
I didn't want [G]to loose you
[Em]You said, "You didn't choose to,
It's [D]just how your karma [C]came."[G]
But thanks for the vision,
And the [Em]twenty-twenty wisdom
wisdom
It [Dsus4]hit me like a sou[D]th-bound train
[C]train
You gotta [G]get

[Verse 6]
gone,
you gotta get go[Am]ing
Hey the [C]world ain't slowin'
[D]down [Dsus4]for no one[G]
It's a carnival [Am]callin' out to you
[C](It's callin' out to you)
[Dsus4]It sounds like a song,[G]
Hits you like [Am]scripture
You paint the pic[C]ture
With colors [D]squeezed from
your [Dsus4]hand
[G]Weren't you the kid
Who just [Am]climbed on the merry-go
Weren't [C]Weren't you the kid
Who just [D]climbed on the merry[Dsus4]-go
Wer[D]en't [G]Weren't you the kid
Who just [Am]climbed on the merry-go-round
Hey [C]Hey Hey look,
[D]the world ain't [Dsus4]slowin' d[D]own[G][Em]
Hey, hey, [Dsus4]the world[G][C]
ain't [G]slowin' [Em]down
Hey, [D]hey, [Dsus4]it's a bi[C]g,[G]
blue [Em]world
It's a big, blue [Dsus4]world
[C]Ridin' on a big, blue [G]world
[C]
