 When I was a boy I thought it just came to ya

 But I never could tell what's mine, so it didn't matter anyway

 My only pride and joy was this record down here

 Banging on an old guitar, singin' what I had to say.


E5     
 I always thought our house was haunted
B5                   D5    A5
 'Cause nobody said 'boo' to me
E5
 I never did get what I wanted
B5                    D5
 But now I get what I need

Chorus:
N.C.                A5 etc
 It's been a slow turning from the inside out
 A slow turning baby but you come about
 A slow learning but you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey
 A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away

(Chord progression x4)

 Now I'm in my car, ooh I've got the radio down
 Now me yellin' at the kids in the back, cause they're banging like
  Charlie Watts
 You think you come so far in this one horse town
 Then she's laughing  that crazy laugh, cause you haven't left the
  parking lot

 Time is short, and here's the damned thing about it
 You're gonna die, gonna die for sure
 You can learn to live with love or without it
 But there ain't no cure

 There's just a slow turning from the inside out
 A slow turning but you come about
 A slow learning you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey
 A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away,
 not fade away, not fade away

 A slow turning, a slow turning etc..
