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