Capo 1st fret
Verse 1:
[D] [G]
Three feet tall, five years old
[D] [G]
Staring to the bottom of mountaintop road
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Hands wrapped tight around those plastic handle grips
[D] [G]
I took off flying, picking up speed
[D] [G]
The world was a blur of rocks and weeds
[D] [G]
It was all worth the pain of landing
[D] [G]
Getting my first three stitches
[D] [A] [G]
Everyone said that I shouldn't do it
[D] [A] [G]
Cut and bruised, but I got through it
[Bm] [A] [G]
I've still got the scars to prove it.
Chorus:
[D] [G]
Life's like a big wheel, keeps on turning
[A] [D] [G] [D]
Time runs away every day I'm learning to roll with the punches
[G]
Follow my hunches
[D] [A] [G]
Loving the way it feels
[D] [A] [G]
Just to be alive
[Bm] [A] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G]
Getting the chance to ride on the big wheel
Verse 2:
[D] [G]
I've taken my share of dead end curves
[D] [G]
Had to steady my nerves and steal my courage
[G]
Had a lot of hard landings
[G] [D] [G]
But I ain't hanging up my wings
[D] [G]
Ya I'm still ripping down that hill
[D] [G]
Still hangin' on with all my will
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Looking back now I still wouldn't change a thing
[D] [A] [G]
I've had a few lovers leave their mark
[D] [A] [G]
I've broken my pride and I've broken my heart
[Bm] [A] [G]
But I'm gonna live the life before it all goes dark
- Repeat Chorus -
[D] [A] [G]
Just to be alive
[Bm] [A] [G]
Getting the chance to ride
[G]
On the big wheel
[D] [A]
On the big wheel
[G]
On the big wheel
(ad lib to end)
