Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
[D]I feel like a spinning top
for a dreidel
The spinning don't stop when
you [Dm]leave [D]the cradle
You just slow down
Round [Dm]and around this [D]world you go
Spinning through lives of
the people you know

[Verse 2]
We all slow down
[G]How you gonna keep on turn
[F]ing from day to [D]day
[G]How you gonna keep from turn
[F]ing your life [A]away[Bb]
No days you can [F]bor[Bb]row
No time you can [Gm]buy[Bb]
No trust in to[F]morrow
It's a lie
[Dm][Gm]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Oh I f[D]eel like a spinning
top for a dreidel
The spinning don't stop when
you leave the cradle
You just slow down
Round and around this world you go
Spinning through lives of
the people you know

[Verse 4]
We all slow down
[G]How you gonna keep on turn
[F]ing from day [Dm]to da[D]y
[G]How you gonna keep from
turn[F]ing your life away
[A]

[Verse 5]
And I feel like I'm a-dipping
and and a-diving
My My sky shoes are spiked
with lead heels
I'm lost in this star car I'm a-driving
But But my air sole keeps
pushing big wheels
My [Bb]world is a constant con[Gm]fusion
My [Bb]mind is prepared to at[Am]tack
My [Bb]past a persuasive il[C]lusion
I'm [F]watching the fu[Am]ture its [Gm]black

[Verse 6]
What [G]do you [D]know[Gm]
You [G]know just [D]what you perceive
What can [G]you show[Gm]
Noth[G]ing of what you [D]believe
And [G]as you [Gm]grow
Each [G]thread of life [D]that you lead
Will spin around your [G]deeds
[D]And dictate your need[G]s
As you [D]sell your [G]soul
[D]And you sow your seeds
And you wound yourself
[G]And[D] your loved one bleeds
And your habits [G]grow
[D]And your conscious [G]feed[D]s
On all that you thought you should be
I never thought this could

[Verse 7]
happen to me-e-e-e-e
[D]
I I I I I [G]feel like a spinning top
for a dreidel
The spinning don't stop when
you leave the cradle
You just slow down
Round and [Gm]around this [G]world you go
Spinning through lives of
the people you know

[Verse 8]
We all slow down
[C]How you gonna keep on turn
[Bb]ing from day to [G]day
[C]How you gonna keep from turn
[Bb]ing your life away
[D]

[Verse 9]
I feel like a spinning top
for a dreidel
The spinning don't stop when
you leave the cradle
You just slow down
You just slow down
You just slow down
