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