Tom : C
C Am F
Pulled off the road, millions move on
C Am F
To catch my breath for a second was a second too long
C Am F
I guess where I am is where I belong
C Am F C
Beneath the big wheel
C Am F
I was a day to day and I lived and learned
C Am F
Learnt how to steal or wait my turn
C Am F
Because nothing's fair and nothing's fairly earned
C Am F C
When you're on the big wheel
[Chorus]
C F
I'm living with nothing beneath me
C F
Straining my neck so I can see
C F
This thin that spins so selfishly
C Am F C
I'm watching the big wheel
[Verse 2]
C Am F
Well who can you trust and who can you blame?
C Am F
They say two thousand years its always been the same
C Am F
The same names running the same games
C Am F C
On the big wheel
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
C Am F
It's a rollercoaster with fairground lights
C Am F
There's a wheel on my wagon rolling into the night
C Am F
And in my head there's this beautiful sight
C Am F C
They're building a different wheel
