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