Verse:
E                                            Bm
How come you always wind up changing your direction?
E                                               G
How come you always end up dancing through the room?
E                                     Bm
How come you always never wanna use protection?
E                                        G
How come you're floating like a helium balloon?


Chorus:
E            F#
I can't keep up
A                  E
You're moving too fast
E         F#
I got to know
A               E
Is this gonna last?
E              F#
Cause I can't tell whether
       A             E
You're up or you're down
E               F#        A           E
This whole situation is spinning me round
F#
Spinning me round
A
Spinning me round


Verse 2: (Repeat Main Riff)
E                                           Bm
How come you always end up changing your intentions?
E                                           G
How come you always wind up blowing hot and cold?
E                                            Bm
One minute honest then your full of false pretension
E                                                G
Head in the clouds but still your desperate to control, to control


E             F#   A         E
I just don't know what to believe
E            F#                    A          E
You build me up then you bring me down on my knees
E                F#
You say you want me
      A               E
Then your up and your gone
E         F#                    A      E
I got to know just where your coming from
G         A                          B
Coming from, where you're coming from


G#                        C#m
I got to know before its over
G#
One way or the other
        C#m       B   A
If your stringing me along


Chorus:
E            F#
I can't keep up
A                  E
You're moving too fast
E         F#
I got to know
A               E
Is this gonna last?
E              F#
Cause I can't tell whether
       A             E
You're up or you're down
E               F#        A           E
This whole situation is spinning me round
F#
Spinning me round

Spinning me round
