[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
E
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
E
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
E
And I refuse to abide
A
An unchanging life
D A
Because running-in-circles beats the hell out of sinking-in-sand
B
And I simply can't stand
E
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
E
And I refuse to abide
A
An unchanging life
D A
Because running-in-circles beats the hell out of sinking-in-sand
B
And I simply can't stand
E
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
E
It's a downturn
D A
But it's a turn all the same
E
Yeah it's a downturn
D A
But it's a turn all the same
