[Verse 1]
A#
I know you came in here 'cause you're worried about me
I can tell by your eyes you came to see
D#
If I'm alright, babe
A#
Well I'm alright, babe
F
It's a downturn
D# A#
But it's a turn all the same
[Verse 2]
A#
Sometimes it feels like a merry-go-round
I'm standin' still, I go up, I come down
D#
All night, babe
A#
In the music and lights, babe
F
It's a downturn
D# A#
But it's a turn all the same
[Chorus]
D# A#
The circles I run in are cycles older than time
F
And I refuse to abide
A#
An unchanging life
D# A#
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
A#-G-D-A-G-D
[Chorus]
D# A#
Well the circles I run in are cycles older than time
F
And I refuse to abide
A#
An unchanging life
D# A#
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]
A#
So let the world keep on turning and set its own speed
At the end of the day we've got what we need
D#
And that's alright, babe
A#
We're alright, babe
F
It's a downturn
D# A#
But it's a turn all the same
F
Yeah it's a downturn
D# A#
But it's a turn all the same
