[Verse 1]
 
Am7                                     Dm7        Am9
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
             Dm                             Am7
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
CM7                         Fmaj7
        All my pictures are falling
CM7                                             Fmaj7
        From the wall where I placed them yesterday
Am7
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
 
(same as verse 1)
 
I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day to day
I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day to day
Though my problems are meaningless
That don't make them go away
I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day to day
 
[Solo]
 
(same chords progression)
 
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone
Now I'm living out here on the beach
But those seagulls are still out of rach
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone
 
Get outta town, I think I'll get outta town
Get outta town, I think I'll get outta town
I head for the stick with my bus and friends
I follow a road though I don't know where it ends
Get outta town, I think I'll get outta town
 
Cos the world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
 
[Solo]

Lyrics correction I head for the stick [mumble mumble mumble] I follow a road I don't know where it goes is.... I head for the sticks with my bus and friends, I follow the road, though I don't know where it ends.

coopstahhh
It should be Cmaj7 instead of Cm7, and where it goes from Cmaj7 to Dm should be played as Cmaj7 to Fmaj7

Nice chord tab... would be perfect if it had all the lyrics on but still good.
