[Verse 1]
BbmF
Round, Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Bbm
Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning reel
Bb7Ebm
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a car-nival balloon
AbDbDbmaj7
Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon
Gbmaj7Cm7
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping, past the minutes of its face
F7Edim
And the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space
F7Bbm
Like the circles that you find, in the windmills of your mind
[Instrumental]
Bbm |||| Gb || F ||
[Verse 2]
BbmF
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
Bb7Ebm
Like a door that keeps revolving, in a half-forgotten dream
AbDbDbmaj7
Or the ripples from a pebble, someone tosses in a stream
Gbmaj7Cm7
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping, as the minutes of its face
F7Edim
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
F7Bbm
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
[Verse 3]
BbmEbm
Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
Ab7Db
Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said?
Db7Gb
Lovers walk along a shore, and leave their footprints in the sand
C7Fm
Is the sound of distant drumming, just the fingers of your hand?
Bb7Ebm
Pictures hanging in a hallway, and the fragment of a song
AbDb
Half-remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
Gbmaj7GbCm
When you knew that it was over, in the autumn of goodbyes
FBbm
For a moment you could not recall, the colour of his eyes
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
BbmF
Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Edim
Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning reel
BbmF
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find
Bbm
In the windmills of your - mind
