PRE-Verse:
G * - G7 - D#7M - A7 (x2)
Verse 1:
GFD#5
I used to think we all had an equal of good and bad
C5D5
But now I'm just not so sure
GFD#5
As of today I feel fine, and know I have peace of mind
C5D5
And know that that's no so common
Verse 2:
GFD#5
Some of the people I meet, when they walk with their feet
C5D5
Don't hold their head up so high
GFD#5
How can they even compete, when all they feel is weak
C5D5
Since their mother has died?
Chorus 1:
GG7 D#7M A7
One spin is all we can ask for, and make good use of
GG7 D#7M A7
One spin towards madness or laughter, just try and turn it

One spin is all we can ask for, and make good use of
GG7 D#7M A7
One spin towards madness or laughter, just try and turn it
Verse 3:
GFD#5
I'm not going to go through this life just trying not to feel pain
C5D5
And hope the stars they come out at night
GFD#5
If bad times really are here, I won't give into the fear
C5D5
I'll just keep singing along
Verse 4:
GFD#5
When I was a little boy, I would just play with my toy
C5D5
Instead of going outside
GFD#5
I wonder what I have missed, maybe just using my fist?
C5D5
Or seeing starlings fly
Chorus 2:
GG7 D#7M A7
One spin is all we can ask for, and make good use of
GG7 D#7M A7
One spin towards madness or laughter, just try and turn it
GG7 D#7M A7

One spin towards madness or laughter, just try and turn it

G * - G7 - D#7M - A7 (x8)
Verse 5:
GFD#5A game has lead to a knife, it hasn't ruined my life
C5D5
It's just made it a bit harder
GFD#5
I play that game when I can, because that's just who I am
C5D5
I know the price that I may pay
Verse 6:
GFD#5
I weigh the good with the bad, remember all that I have
C5D5
And jump right into the river
GFD#5
When my spin comes to an end, I will not try and pretend
C5D5
And say that I am ready to go
Chorus 3:
GG7 D#7M A7
One spin is all we can ask for, and make good use of

One spin is all we can ask for, and make good use of
GG7 D#7M A7
One spin towards madness or laughter, just try and turn it

GG7 D#7M A7
And ask for
