CmB7
Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel,
B7Cm
Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning reel
Cm7Ab
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon,
B7Gm
Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon
CmFm
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping, past the minutes of its face
GCm7
And the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space
Csus2Cm
Like the circles that you find, in the windmills of your mind
CmB7
Like a tunnel that you follow, to a tunnel of its own,
B7Cm
Down a hollow to a cavern, where the sun has never shone
Cm7C7Ab
Like a door that keeps revolving, in a half-forgotten dream,
B7Gm
Or the ripples from a pebble, someone tosses in a stream
CmFm
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping, past the minutes of its face
GCm7
And the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space
Csus2Cm
Like the circles that you find, in the windmills of your mind
CmFm
Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head,
B7Cm
Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said?
Cm7C7Ab
Lovers walk along the shore, and leave their footprints in the sand,
D7Gm
Is the sound of distant drumming, just the fingers of your hand?
C7C7Ab
Pictures hanging in a hallay, and the fragment of a song,
B7Gm
Half-remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
CmB7
When you knew that it was over, you were suddenly aware,
B7Cm
that the autumn leaves were turning, to the colour of her hair
CmFm
Like a circle in a spiral, a wheel within a wheel,
B7Cm7
Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning reel
CmGm
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find,
Cm
In the windmills of your mind
