[Verse 1]
D
I know you came in here 'cause you're worried about me
I can tell by your eyes you came to see
G
If I'm alright, babe
D
Well I'm alright, babe
A
It's a downturn
G D
But it's a turn all the same
[Verse 2]
D
Sometimes it feels like a merry-go-round
I'm standin' still, I go up, I come down
G
All night, babe
D
In the music and lights, babe
A
It's a downturn
G D
But it's a turn all the same
[Chorus]
G D
The circles I run in are cycles older than time
A
And I refuse to abide
D
An unchanging life
G D
Because running-in-circles beats the hell out of sinking-in-sand
E
And I simply can't stand
A
To stay where I am
D-G-D-A-G-D
[Chorus]
G D
Well the circles I run in are cycles older than time
A
And I refuse to abide
D
An unchanging life
G D
Because running-in-circles beats the hell out of sinking-in-sand
E
And I simply can't stand
A
To stay where I am
[Verse 3]
D
So let the world keep on turning and set its own speed
At the end of the day we've got what we need
G
And that's alright, babe
D
We're alright, babe
A
It's a downturn
G D
But it's a turn all the same
A
Yeah it's a downturn
G D
But it's a turn all the same
