          B        C#m        G#m B
And the wheels go 'round and around
         E          C#m     G#m         B
And the headlights shining fade in and fade out
And the cigarette burns, burns, burns
And the cigarette burns, burns, burns
I don't care, 'cause I'm wasted
I don't care, 'cause I'm wasted

And the road goes up in smoke
So I paint a picture in my head
Of where I'm supposed to go
I don't care, 'cause I'm wasted
I don't care, 'cause I'm wasted

And the wheels go 'round and around

Chorus:
            E C#m G#m B
And I am an animal,
        E C#m
I am an animal
            G#m               B
'Cause you can't control my brain
                     E C#m G#m B
And that makes it impossible
            E G#m E
And I am an animal

And the voices take their toll
And so you're waiting (So you're waiting)
And hopin' that they'd let you go
You don't care, 'cause you're floating
You don't care, 'cause you're floating

And the wheels go 'round and around

Chorus

A                             E
So we'll get drunk and we'll make love
                  A
And we'll break up and we'll make up
           E      D      A
And we'll wake up over again

And the wheels go 'round and around

Chorus
