Intro:
D-A-G-D-A  D-A-G-A-D

Verse 1:
          D                                      A
I've been up and down and round' and round' and back again
G                            D              A
Been so many places can't remember where or when
       D                                          A
And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend
G            A               D
never really was a friend at all.

Chorus:
     B                        A
I've traded love for pennies sold my soul for less
        G              D              A
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
            D                              A
I've turned inside out and round about and back and then
G            A                  G         D
Found myself right back where I started again.

Verse 2:
       D                             A
Once I had myself a million now I've only got a dime
     G                    A               D
The difference don't seem quite as bad today
       D                          A
With a nickel or a million I was searching all the time
     G                 A             G       D
For something that I'd never lost or left behind.

(Chorus)
After this chorus there is a short break, where the verse chords are played once.

Verse 3:
        D                           A
Now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top
      G                D                A
I've learned a lot of things along the way
        D                                   A
I'll be careful when I'm climbing cause it hurts a lot to drop
    G                A              G        D
And when you're down nobody gives a damn anyways.

(Chorus)


There are two versions of this song that I've heard they are both the same except tempo. Also the one with the faster tempo, which I found on a tape of my parents, has a key change in the last verse and chorus, it is played in E and the B at the start of the chorus is a C#. That's all.
