C F Em C
People say I'm crazy
F Em C
Doing what I'm doing
F Em C
Well they give me all kinds of warnings

To save me from ruin
C Dm G
When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kind of strange
F Dm G
Surely your not happy now, you no longer play the game
C F Em C
People say I'm lazy
F Em C
Dreaming my life away
F Em C
Well they give me all kinds of advice

Designed to enlighten me
C Dm G
When I tell that I'm doing fine, watching shadows on the wall
F Dm G
Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball
Chorus:
F G C Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
F Em Dm C
I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on that merry-go-round
F G C
I just had to let it go
C F Em C x2
C F Em C
People asking questions
F Em C
Lost in confusion
F Em C
Well I tell them there's no problem

Only solutions
C Dm G
Well they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
F Dm G
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time
Chorus

I just had to let it go
