Verse 3 [chords and fills as per verse 2]:
As she leaves, she drops the presents
That she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water
Got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it
A case of do or die
[repeat chorus]
[repeat bridge]
Verse 4 [as per verse 2]:
Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
[repeat chorus 1 to fade]
