Am7                                              
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away

The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away

     All my pictures are falling.... 
Cm7                                   F 
     From the wall where I hung them yesterday

I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day to day

I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone

    Now I'm living out here on the beach

    But those seagulls are still out of rach 
Am7                                                        Dm     Am7

    I follow a road that I don't know where it ends
