A B A B Well, I was only a kid - didn't know enough to be afraid A B A B Playing the game, but not the way the big boys played A B A B Nothing to lose - maybe I had something to trade A E D A The way the big wheel spins Well, I was only a kid, on a holy crusade I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made Take no chances on paradise delayed So I do a slow fade Chorus: B F# G#m Playing for time B F# E Don't want to wait for heaven B F# G#m Looking for love E F# E F# For an angel to forgive my sins B F# G#m Playing with fire B F# E Chasing something new to believe in B F# G#m Looking for love E F# E F# The way the big wheel spins E F# E F# The way the big wheel spins Well, I was only a kid, cruising around in a trance Prisoner of fate, victim of circumstance I was lined up for glory, but the tickets sold out in advance The way the big wheel spins Well, I was only a kid, gone without a backward glance Going for broke, going for another chance Hoping for heaven - hoping for a fine romance If I do the right dance Chorus: Playing for time Don't want to wait for heaven Looking for love For an angel to forgive my sins Playing with fire Chasing something new to believe in Looking for love The way the big wheel spins The way the big wheel spins D Wheel goes round, landing on a twist of faith Taking your chances you'll have the right answers E F# E F# E F# E F# When the final judgment begins D Wheel goes round, landing on a leap of fate Life redirected in ways unexpected E F# E F# Sometimes the odd number wins E F# E F# The way the big wheel spins Chorus: Playing for time Don't want to wait for heaven Looking for love For an angel to forgive my sins Playing with fire Chasing something new to believe in Looking for love The way the big wheel spins Playing for time Don't want to wait for heaven Looking for love The way the big wheel spins The way the big wheel spins The way the big wheel spins The way the big wheel spins...
