Standard (EADGBE)

Round and round and round we spin,

To weave a wall to hem us in,

 It won't be long, it won't be long

 How slow and slow and slow it goes,

To mend the tear that always shows.

 It won't be long, it won't be long.

 It's hard enough losin'

the paper illusion

 you've hidden inside,

 Without the confusion

of findin' you're usin'

 the crutch of the lie

 To shelter your pride when you cry.

Round and round and round we spin,

To weave a wall to hem us in,

 It won't be long, it won't be long

 How slow and slow and slow it goes,

To mend the tear that always shows.

 It won't be long, it won't be long.

 Now you're movin' too slow

and wherever you go

 there's another beside.

 It's so hard to say no

to yourself and it shows

 that you're losing inside,

 When you step on your pride and you cry.

Round and round and round we spin,

To weave a wall to hem us in,

 It won't be long, it won't be long

 How slow and slow and slow it goes,

To mend the tear that always shows.

 It won't be long, it won't be long.

 How the hours will bend

through the time that you spend

 till you turn to your eyes,

 And you see your best friend

looking over the end

 and you turn to see why,

 And he looks in your eyes and he cries.

Round and round and round we spin,

To weave a wall to hem us in,

 It won't be long, it won't be long

 How slow and slow and slow it goes,

To mend the tear that always shows.

 It won't be long, it won't be long.
