[Verse]
C Am Am7
I’m haunted by the air that blows through me
Am C
The slightest breath stirs up your memory
F G Am
So my heart and head both constantly
Gsus4 G
Spin around
F F9
They spin around
 
C Am Am7
I don’t need ears or eyes to tell me when
Am F
It’s obvious when you’ve come back again
G Am
That moment you’re a whisper on my skin
G
I spin around
F C
I spin around
 
[Chorus]
F C
My blades are bent and weathered now I’ve lost a lot of wood
Gsus4 G
The metal of me’s rusting, and I creak more than I should
F Am
For years I’ve longed to draw a different well
Gsus4 G
But there’s no other water here in hell.
F
It never ends.
 
Gsus4 G
You’re the wind
Am Am7 Gsus4 G
And I’m the windmill
 
[Verse]
C Am Am7
You can come and go but me I’m built to stay
F F9
Cursed and powerless to turn away
F G Am Am7
Broken like the promise that you made
G
I spin around
F C
Still spin around
 
[Chorus]
F C
My blades are bent and weathered now I’ve lost a lot of wood
Gsus4 G
The metal of me’s rusting, and I creak more than I should
F Am7
For years I’ve longed to draw a different well
Gsus4 G
But there’s no other water here in hell.
F
It never ends.
 
Gsus4 G
You’re the wind
F
And I’m the windmill
 
[Break]
G
Ohh oh
Am G F C
You're all that moved me then. You’re all that moves me now
 
F Em Dm7 Gsus4 G
I’d move along and love again. But Windmills don’t know how
 
[Outro]
F F9 Gsus4 G
They just spin.
F F9 Gsus4 G
You’re the wind
Am Am7 Gsus4 G
And I’m the windmill
 
F F9 Gsus4 G
You’re the wind
F
I’m the windmill
