The Windmills of Your Mind

Em B7 Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, Em Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel, E7 Am7 Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnival balloon D7 Gm7 Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon, Cm7 F#7/5- Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face, B7 Gdim And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space, B7 Em Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind. Em B7 Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own, Em Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone, E7 Am7 Like a door that keeps revolving in a half-forgotten dream, D7 Gm7 Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream, Cm7 F#m7/5- Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face, B7 Gdim And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space, B7 Em Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind. Em Am7 Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head; D7 Gm7 Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that I said? G7 Cm7 Lovers walk along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand; F#7 Bm Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand? E7 Am Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragments of a song, D7 Gm7 Half-remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong? Cm7 F#m7/5- When you knew that it was over, were you suddenly aware B7 Em That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of her hair? B7 Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, Gdim Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel, Em B7 As the images unwind, like the circles that you find Em Am Em B7 Em In the windmills of your mind.
