John Lennon ? Watchin? the Wheels

C                              F                    C
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing.
C                                                         F                       C
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin.
F                       Dm              G
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange.
F                      Dm                      G
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game.

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


F           G                                   C                              Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
F         Am                             Dm7            Dm7/C
I really love to watch them roll.
G             G/F             Am                   Am/G
No longer riding on the merry-go-round.
F       Fm                 C
I just had to let it go.

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

F           G                                   C                              Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
F         Am                             Dm7            Dm7/C
I really love to watch them roll.
G             G/F             Am                   Am/G
No longer riding on the merry-go-round.
F       Fm                 C
I just had to let it go. (Repeat 3x)
