E D A E
I'm checkin' out, checking on a late night flight
D A E
LAX a horror show
D A E
Still I'd rather be here sweatin' out another take-off
D A E
Than living in the valley below
D A E A E
And I never get no comfort in the earth or sky
D A E
It's my belief they're not my home
D A E A E
The world spins one way, but I go a-nother
D A E
A-gainst the grain, one often stands a-lone
CHORUS BEGINS

As the world turns, it slaps me hard
D A E A E
As the world turns, it tells me I'm weak
D A E
As the world turns, I drop my guard
D A E A E
As the world turns, I turn the other cheek

Some values given up for others
D A E
And this, I think the essence of our tragedy
D A E
Our fallenness, our bond with one a-nother
D A E A E
And you always hear a-bout it in the evening news
