[Verse 1]
Em                   G Am                  Em  Emadd9 Em G
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
Am                                         Em
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
Gmaj7                         Cmaj7
     All my pictures are falling....
Gmaj7                                   Cmaj7
     From the wall where I placed them yesterday
Em                   G Am                  Em
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away

I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day to day
Am                                                     Em
I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day to day
Gmaj7                          Cmaj7
    Though my problems are meaningless
Gmaj7                        Cmaj7
    That don't make them go away
Em                       G Am                         Em
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
Am                                                              Em
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone
Gmaj7                         Cmaj7
    Now I'm living out here on the beach
Gmaj7                       Cmaj7
    But those seagulls are still out of rach
Em                           G Am                                Em
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone

Gmaj7                               Cmaj7
    I head for the sticks with my bus and friends
Gmaj7                             Cmaj7
    I follow a road I don't know where it ends
Em            G Am                Em
Get outta town, I think I'll get outta town

Cos the world is turning, I don't wanna see it turn away......
