I’ve been up and down and around and ’round and back again
G                                D                 A
I’ve been so many places I can’t remember where or when

Never really was a friend at all

Well I traded love for pennies and sold my soul for less
        G              D              A
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time

And I turned inside out and ’round about and back again

Found myself right back where I started again.

Once I had myself a million now I’ve only got a dime

The difference don’t seem quite as bad today

With a nickle or million I was searchin’ all the time
G                  A                  G    D
For something that I’ve never lost or left behind.

And now I’m in my second circle and I’m headin’ for the top
     G                A                D
I’ve learned a lot of things along the way

I’ll be careful while I’m climbing ’cause it hurts alot to drop

When you’re down nobody gives a damn anyway.
