I did this by ear; hopefully it's correct.  If you want to play the version from 
his album, "Acoustic," put a capo on the second fret.

Possibly uncommon chord shapes (I only put F in there so you didn't use the bar chord).

Fmaj7/C           Dm (xx0231@1)             GSurely (320003@1)you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
