Intro: Am C Am C

Verse

Am                                                                                                   C

There was a time when it was easy to look across the open fields, now that’s just a dream

Am                                                                                                  C

It used to be that I could breath the air and feel the autumn chill, but times have changed

G                                  Am                   C                          D

And sometimes it feels like the changes are me

G                                                       Am                           C                           D

The signs on the window but you look at the glass and can’t read

Chorus

G           Em      B                                           D                                             A

The world turns, changing its mind, feeling the years take a back seat

G           Em      B                               D                                     A                                 Em

The world turns, seeing the signs, watching us slowly halting, the world turns

Verse

Am                                                                                                      C

The worlds still turning but it’s not just the sun that is burning hot, you know it’s not

Am                                                                                                                   C

Our days are numbered yet we count in the hundreds and ignore the rot, how long have we got?

G                                   Am                         C                     D

And just when the numbers are mounting we see

G                                         Am                     C                   D

That while we were counting, we’re lost to the sea

Chorus

G           Em      B                                           D                                             A

The world turns, changing its mind, feeling the years take a back seat

G           Em      B                               D                                     A                                 Em

The world turns, seeing the signs, watching us slowly halting, the world turns

middle eight

Am                      G                           D                           A

And can’t you see it’s how we knew it would be

G-Am                G                               D

We made our bed and now we lie on it

G-Am               G                                               D                        A

I hoped that we would see that it was all so easily changed

C             D                                 A

In the end it just re-arranged

Instrumental break followed by final verse

Am                                                                                                 C

We try to fake it but we’re not going to make it if we steal the rain

Am                                                                                                                 C

It’s plain to see if they were like you and me we could have stayed the same

G                                  Am                   C                      D

Your hearing the words I say roll of your tongue

G                                  Am              C                       D

You’re staring accusing the old and the young

Chorus

G           Em      B                                           D                                             A

The world turns, changing its mind, feeling the years take a back seat

G           Em      B                               D                                     A                                 Em

The world turns, seeing the signs, watching us slowly halting, the world turns
