Intro:

	harpsichord w/percussion:

	Em
	/ / / /  / / / /

Verse:

	Em       Em/maj7
	Beat  the clock
	Em7            Em6   Cm6
	Try to make it stop   before
	 Em                G                Am
	Time can draw the line and cut you down
	        B7
	To her size

	[bass enters]

	 Em      Em/maj7
	Beat  the clock
	Em7            Em6
	Try to make it stop
	         C6
	Tell me, how long will it take
	            B7
	Before you finally realize

Chorus 1:

	          Em          G
	That the carnival is over
	                            D/F#
	And you've seen much better days
	          Em              G
	You have wasted too much time
	                      D/F#
	In too many different ways
	     Em                  D  C
	You deny the possibility of   growing old
	     D    Em                         D     C                D
	You are filled with false humility, you're   much too bold

	1: piano w/strings:

	 Em     Em7/D    C#m7-5    Cm6 
	 / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

[repeat verse]

Chorus 2:

	That you're in this game the same as ne
	Although you think you're not
	When you've tried to rise above it all
	You'd get just what you got
	Seems to me you're slipping, you seem  slightly unnerved
	When you finally see yourself, you get what you deserve
