A D A E Sometimes I tell you to just sit still D Bm A When you know that it's time to run A D A E Sometimes I tell you it's all over D Bm A When you're sure that it's just begun
Chorus: E D A The iron wheel slowly spins around E D A It takes you from the cradle 'til you're six feet underground E D F#m You push and pull against it but you'll ride it 'til it's through A E D A And those who spin the wheel well those fuckers ride it too
A D A E Sometimes I tell you to move along D Bm A When you're sure you should stand and fight A D A E Sometimes I tell you that you're a lucky man D Bm A But the numbers they don't add up right
Chorus
F#m D A The good wife rides the wheel as the years just slip away F#m D A T.V. preacher rides the wheel as he leads the flock astray F#m D A Lady Justice rides the wheel but her balance is unsure F#m D E Cause the truth it lies in pieces scattered on the newsroom floor
A D A E Sometimes I tell you to just let go D Bm A When you're sure you should hold on tight A D A E Sometimes I tell you you're time will never come D Bm A When you're sure that your time's come tonight
