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