Lyrics

(C5)Peo (F)ple

have the (C5)right to (F)fly,

and (C5)will (F)when

it gets (C5)com pro (F)mised.

Their hearts say, (C)“Move a (Bb)long.”

Their minds say, (Gm11)“Got cha heart.

Let’s move it a long.”

And (C5)air (F)ports

see it (C5)all the (F)time,

where some one’s (C)last good (Bb)bye

blends in with (Gm11)some one’s sigh

’cause some one’s (C)com ing (Bb)home,

in hand a (Gm11)sin gle rose.

And that’s the way

this wheel

keeps work ing now.

That’s the way

this wheel

keeps work ing now.

And I won’t (C)be the (Bb)last,

no, I won’t (Gm11)be the last

to love her.

(C5)You (F)can’t

build a (C5)house of (F)leaves

and (C5)live (F)like

it’s an (C5)ev er (F)green.

It’s just a (C)sea son (Bb)thing.

It’s just this thing the sea sons do.

And that’s the way

You can (C5)find (F)me

if you ev er (C5)want a (F)gain.

I’ll be a (Bbsus2)round the bend.

I’ll be a (Gm11)round the bend.

I’ll be a (Bbsus2)round.

I’ll be a round.

And if you (Bbsus2)nev er stop when you wave good bye, you (Gm11)just might find if you give it time you will (Bbsus2)wave hel lo a gain.

You just might wave hel lo a gain.

And that’s the way

this wheel

keeps work ing now.

That’s the way

this wheel

keeps work ing now.

You can’t love too much one part of it.

You can’t love too much one part of it.

You can’t love too much one part of it.
