Round and round 'til you lose your  - self in the air

    All those complicated deals, your desperate appeals

                       | G       D Am              | Asus2 A |
Building gods that could put the   clock  in reverse

| G           C       Em   Am        G              C
    Breathing thinner atmosphere, so thin you could hear

                 | G          D  Am             | Asus2 A |
Angels telling you boy you're    making it worse
