  C                              F             C
People say I'm crazy  -  doin' waht I what I'm doing

  C                                       F                      C
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings   -   to save me from ruin

F                  Dm              G                        G
When I say that I'm O.K. well they look at me kinda strange:

F                   Dm                G                     G  G  G
"Surely you're not happy now - you no longer play the game."


People say I'm lazy - dreamin' my life away.

Well, they give me all kinds of advice  -  designed to enlighten me.


          F                                 Dm                    G    G
Well they tell 'em that I'm doin fine watching shadows on the wall:

F                       Dm                                      G G G G
"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 weels 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 mercy ground.

F#m7                       F             Ab6
                           I just had to let it go.



People asking questions - lost in confusion.

Well, I tell them there's no problem, - only solutions.

shake their heads and they look at me sa if I've lost my mind. -

I tell them there's no hurry. I'm just sitting here doing time.-


Ref. and then:

One correction:

>G            G/F           Am          Am/G
>  No longer riding on the merry ground.

>F#m7                       F             Ab6
>                           I just had to let it go.

 ^^^^ This should be F#m7-5, or Am/F#.  (202210)

And someone might want to go through and fix the numerous typos in that
posting.  Other than that, the chords look okay.
