[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
