Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em C
Running through the city under neon skies,
G D
Chasing shadows and the echoes of your lies,
Em C
Midnight carousel, we’re spinning around,
G D
In this endless chase, no solid ground.

(Chorus)
C G
Spinning in circles, lost in the game,
D Em
Chasing illusions, just empty frames,
C G
Midnight carousel, keeps turning round,
D Em
In this crazy dance, we’re love-bound.

(Verse 2)
Em C
Your whispers in the wind, like a sweet refrain,
G D
Promises broken, we’re dancing in the rain,
Em C
Midnight carousel, under city lights,
G D
In this merry-go-round, love ignites.

(Chorus)
C G
Spinning in circles, hearts set aflame,
D Em
In the mirror’s reflection, who’s to blame?
C G
Midnight carousel, keeps turning round,
D Em
In this crazy dance, we’re love-bound.
