The Windmills of Your Mind

Cm Fm6

Round, like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel

G7 G Cm

Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning wheel

C7 Fm

Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnaval balloon

A#7 D#maj7

Like a carousell that's turning, running rings around the moon

D#maj7 D#

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping

Fm9 Fm

past the minutes of its face

G7 F#dim

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space

G7/G#

Like the circles that you find

Cm9 Cm Cm7

in the windmills of your mind

 

Cm7 Fm6

Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own

G Cm7

Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone

C7 Fm

Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream

A#7 D#maj7

Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream

G#maj7

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping

Fm6

past the minutes of its face

G7 F#dim

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space

G7 Cm7

Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

 

Cm Fm7

Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head

A#7 D#maj7

Why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said?

D#7

Lovers walk along the shore

G#maj7

and leave their footprints in the sand

D7 Gm

Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?

Gm7 C7 Fm

Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song

A#7 D#maj7

Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?

G#maj7 Dm

When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware

G7/G# Cm7

That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of his hair

 

Cm7 Fm6

Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel

G7 F#dim

Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning wheel

Cm7/G G7

As the images unwind, like the circles that you find

Cm7

In the windmills of your mind
