Kasey Chambers - Colour Of A Carnival

From "Carnival" (2006)

[Em]  I [C]live in a circle [G]runnin' around and a[D]round and around and a[Em]round
Walk [C]over the wire [G]pullin' me down and me [D]down and me down and me [Em]down
Sink [C]under the water [G]fadin' away and a[D]way and away and a[Em]way
Crash [C]into the wall if [G]only you stayed if you [D]stayed if you stayed if you [C]stayed

Hey Hey [D]Hey - If only you [C]stayed
Hey Hey [D/Stop]Hey

CHORUS:
It [Em]coulda been the colour of a [C]carnival
It [G]coulda been the light in the [D]dark
It [Em]coulda been the blaze of [C]glory that keeps us [G]all from fallin a[D]part
It [Em]coulda been better
It [C]coulda been bigger
Every[G]thing I would [D]need
It coulda been [C]me  [D]

[Em]  I [C]stand in the corner [G]callin your name and your [D]name and your [Em]name
Try [C]tellin myself I was [G]never to blame and to [D]blame and to blame and to [Em]blame
Fall [C]down to my knees I'm [G]slippin away and a[D]way and away and a[Em]way 
Break [C]under the strain if [G]only you stayed if you [D]stayed if you stayed if you [C]stayed

[C]Hey Hey [D]Hey - If only you [C]stayed
Hey Hey [D/Stop]Hey

CHORUS

It coulda been [C]me   [D]
It coulda been [C]me   [D]

CHORUS

It coulda been [C]me   [D]
It coulda been [C]me   [D]

[C]Hey Hey [D]Hey
It should have been [C]me
[C]Hey Hey [D]Hey
Hey Hey Hey
