    G                                   C
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,

    G                               C
You can't let go and you can't hold on,

    G                                 C
You can't go back and you can't stand still,

       F                              Bb        C
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.
[Interlude] C C [Verse]
F                    Bb         C
Won't you try just a little bit harder,

F                       Bb         C
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
C C
F                    Bb         C
Won't you try just a little bit harder,

F                       Bb         C
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?

G
Round, round robin run around,

G                        D
Got to get back to where you belong,

G
Little bit harder, just a little bit more,

D                           G
Little bit further than you gone before.
[Chorus]
    G                                   C
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,

    G                               C
You can't let go and you can't hold on,

    G                                 C
You can't go back and you can't stand still,

       F                              Bb        C
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.
[Instrumental] C F Bb C F Bb C [Verse]
C                                F
Small wheel turn by the fire and rod,

C                                 F
Big wheel turnin' by the grace of God,

C                           F
Every time that wheel turn 'round,

C                                 F
Bound to cover just a little more ground.
[Interlude] C C C C [Chorus]
    C                                   F
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,

    C                               F
You can't let go and you can't hold on,

    C                                 F
You can't go back and you can't stand still,

       F                              Bb        C
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.
