E I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle You just slow down Round and around the world you go Spinning through the lives of the people you know We all slow down A G E How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? A G B C How you gonna keep from turning your life away? C G C Am No days you can borrow, no time you can buy C G B No trust in tomorrow, it's a lie I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle You just slow down Round and around the world you go Spinning through the lives of the people you know We all slow down How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? How you gonna keep from turning your life away? B F#m B F#m And I feel like I'm dippin' and divin' B F#m B F#m My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels B F#m B F#m I'm lost in this star car am I drivin' B F#m B F#m But my air sole keeps pushin' big wheels C Am My world is a constant confusion C Bm My mind is prepared to attack C D My past a persuasive illusion G D Am I'm watchin' the future it's black Am What do you know? Am You know just what you perceive Am What can you show? Am Nothing of what you believe Am And as you grow Am Each thread of life that you leave Am Will spin Around your deeds and dictate your needs As you sell your soul and you sow your seeds And you wound yourself and your loved one bleeds And your habits grow, and your conscience feeds On all that you thought you should be I never thought this could happen to me A I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel The spinnin' don't stop when you leave the cradle You just slow down Round and around this world you go Spinnin' through the lives of the people you know We all slow down D C A How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? D C E How you gonna keep from turning your life away? E I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle You just slow down | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  D  E  F#m  G  B  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
