          C#                     Fm
There's a quiet revolution in my head
       C#                Fm         D#
As we take another 365 around this mess
       C#                     Fm
But a quiet revolution in my head
           C#                       Fm  D#
Don't mean anything unless I let it out

              C#
Won't let the days form, no night fall
      Fm
Till change comes around
              C#                      C
Watchin' the world spin away from us now, hey!

Chorus:
                C#            Fm
I don't want to go around the sun
                D#
With anyone but you, babe
With anyone but you, babe
C#                            Fm
I don't want to go around the sun
                C#
With anyone but you, babe
With anyone but you, babe

            C#
Lost in the universe
           Fm
We got the modern curse
        D#
But we try, we try
C#                            Fm
I don't want to go around the sun
                       D#
With anyone but you, babe
With anyone but you, babe

So, bring on quiet revolutions in our heads
Keep on fantasising futures we should try to make
As we're fallin' through the universe again
Still the jokers and the thieves never fall down

Won't let the days form, no night fall
Till change comes around
Watchin' the world spin away from us now
Hey!

Chorus

C#
I just can't, I just can't
                D#
I just can't imagine
          Fm
Spinnin' around the world with anybody
C#
No quiet, no quiet
              D#
Quiet revolutions
Spinnin' around the world with anybody (Hey!)

Chorus:
I don't want to ('Round the sun)
With anyone but you, babe (With anyone—)
With anyone but you, babe, no
I don't want to go around the sun
With anyone but you, babe
With anyone but you, babe
Lost in the universe, we got the modern curse
But we try, we try
I don't want to go around the sun
With anyone but you, babe (With anyone but you)
With anyone but you
