Tom : Bbm
Bbm |||| Fm |||| Gb |||| F ||||
[Verse 1]
Bbm F
Round, Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Bbm
Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning reel
Bb7 Ebm
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a car-nival balloon
Ab Db Dbmaj7
Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon
Gbmaj7 Cm7
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping, past the minutes of its face
F7 Edim
And the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space
F7 Bbm
Like the circles that you find, in the windmills of your mind
[Instrumental]
Bbm |||| Gb || F ||
[Verse 2]
Bbm F
Like a tunnel that you follow, to a tunnel of its own
Bbm
Down a hollow to a cavern, where the sun has never shone
Bb7 Ebm
Like a door that keeps revolving, in a half-forgotten dream
Ab Db Dbmaj7
Or the ripples from a pebble, someone tosses in a stream
Gbmaj7 Cm7
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping, as the minutes of its face
F7 Edim
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
F7 Bbm
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
[Verse 3]
Bbm Ebm
Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
Ab7 Db
Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said?
Db7 Gb
Lovers walk along a shore, and leave their footprints in the sand
C7 Fm
Is the sound of distant drumming, just the fingers of your hand?
Bb7 Ebm
Pictures hanging in a hallway, and the fragment of a song
Ab Db
Half-remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
Gbmaj7 Gb Cm
When you knew that it was over, in the autumn of goodbyes
F Bbm
For a moment you could not recall, the colour of his eyes
[Instrumental]
Bbm |||| Ab |||| Gb |||| F ||||
[Outro]
Bbm F
Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Edim
Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning reel
Bbm F
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find
Bbm
In the windmills of your - mind
