C majorC          Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC
People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing
C majorC                   Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
Well they give me all kinds of warnings, to save me from ruin
Fmaj7Fmaj7      DmDm         G+G
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Fmaj7Fmaj7       DmDm        G+G
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

C majorC          Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC
People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away
                   Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC
Well, they give me all kinds of advice, designed to enlighten me
Fmaj7Fmaj7           DmDm         G+G
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Fmaj7Fmaj7         DmDm         G+G
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here makin the wheels go round and round
     DmDm          Dm7Dm7
I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry-go-round
FF   F7F7       C majorC B/C Am7Am7  G/C F/CF/C (walkdown)
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions, lost in confusion
                  Fmaj7Fmaj7   C majorC
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
      Fmaj7Fmaj7                 DmDm       G+G
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
 Fmaj7Fmaj7        DmDm       G+G
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

FF    G+G             C majorC          A minorAm  FF
