[Chorus]
    G                                   C
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,
    G                               C
You can't let go and you can't hold on,
    G                                 C
You can't go back and you can't stand still,
       F                              Bb        C
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.

[Verse]
F                    Bb         C
Won't you try just a little bit harder,
F                       Bb         C
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
 
C C
 
F                    Bb         C
Won't you try just a little bit harder,
F                       Bb         C
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
 
 
G
Round, round robin run around,
G                        D
Got to get back to where you belong,
G
Little bit harder, just a little bit more,
D                           G
Little bit further than you gone before.
 
 
[Chorus]
    G                                   C
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,
    G                               C
You can't let go and you can't hold on,
    G                                 C
You can't go back and you can't stand still,
       F                              Bb        C
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.

[Verse]
C                                F
Small wheel turn by the fire and rod,
C                                 F
Big wheel turnin' by the grace of God,
C                           F
Every time that wheel turn 'round,
C                                 F
Bound to cover just a little more ground.

The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,
    C                               F
You can't let go and you can't hold on,
    C                                 F
You can't go back and you can't stand still,
       F                              Bb        C
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.
