Verse 1:
C                   Fmaj7  
People say I'm crazy 
               C
doing what I'm doing,
                                       Fmaj7
Well they give me all kinds of warnings 
                C
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                  G7
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

            C     
dreaming my life away,
                                     Fmaj7
Well they give me all kinds of advice 
              C
designed to enlighten me,
       F             Dm                  G
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
F                  Dm                     G                G7
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

Chorus:
F        G                         C                   Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
F        F/E                Dm     Dm/C
I really love to watch them roll,
G         G7            Am       Am7     D7/F#   F
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
       Fm6           C
I just had to let it go,

Verse 3:
C                       Fmaj7
People asking questions 
           C
lost in confusion,
                                    Fmaj7
Well I tell them there's no problem,
       C
Only solutions,
          F                          Dm            G
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
  F                    Dm
I tell them there's no hurry...

Chorus 2:
         G                     G7
I'm just sitting here doing time,
F        G                         C                   Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
F        F/E                Dm    Dm/C
I really love to watch them roll,
G         G7            Am       Am7     D7/F#   F
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
