Carnival Glass

D F#m D F#m D F#m They say little girls fall in love with their fathers; F#m Well, my daddy was a carnie with a traveling show. F#m Sideshow prince, the king of the midway -- F#m My mama was a one-night stand in Idaho. D F#m Mama did her best with what my daddy gave her, F#m Taught me right from wrong and told me to behave. F#m I tried to be good, but my best couldn't save her, F#m And I hit the road while Mama was still warm in her grave. D A ticket to the freakshow if you please, A I've gone and caught my heritage just like a disease. D There's no vaccination for what's bred in the bone. A E F#m The angels take the good, the devil takes his own. F#m They say little girls are all sugar and sunshine; F#m Well, I was made of ticket stubs and carnival glass. F#m D Play to win, follow the lady -- F#m A dollar and a quarter for an all-night pass. F#m I struck out to the west without a glance behind me, F#m Nothing in my pocket but a hand and a prayer. F#m The shadows crashed down so the light couldn't find me; D F#m No one ever promised me that life would be fair.

F#m Miles to go, no rest for the wicked -- D F#m I guess I'm just my daddy's daughter in the end. F#m Mama's just a phantom on the midnight midway, D F#m Daddy works the ticket booth while I work the crowd. F#m You can't change your nature -- I learned that the hard way. D F#m So I'll follow the lady 'til I make Daddy proud. D A ticket to the freakshow if you please, D I've gone and caught my heritage just like a disease.
