A#maj7           Dm          Am7      Dm7
World spinning round to the next revolution
A#maj7     Dm         Am7
Sun going down, gonna rise up again

F/A
I watch the sun go down with some sorrow
Ddim
And now I know it's gonna come back tomorrow
A#/F
Ain't no reason it has to do that
It's the season of the culture bat

Chorus:
F/A
Spinning on an axis
Ddim
Spinning on an axis
A#/F
Staring in the face
Of time and space
Spinning on an axis

World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up again

World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up again
Hear me rising, rise up and sing
Rise up, rise up

Although I'm curious, it isn't a crime
I want to know if I'll find out in time
A lot of people busy doing their thing
Gonna wake up and sing

Chorus:
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
We ask the question
And the answer's yes
Spinning on an axis

I watch the sun go down with some sorrow
And now I know it's gonna come back tomorrow
Ain't no reason it has to do that
It's the season of the culture bat

I watch the sun go down
Wonder if it's gonna come back
Certainly there's no guarantee
But I got a feeling it will be

Chorus:
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on, spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis

World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up again

World spinning round to the next revolution
Sun going down, gonna rise up

Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up again

World spinning round to the next revolution
