[Intro]
 
E A E A E A E B
 
 
[Verse]
 
E              A
So it was that everything
E                    A
That went to make up everything
    E                  A
Was wrapped up tight inside a grain
   E       B
Of great insistence
         E                A
And then someone gave the great command
E                      A
All things paired off for the dance
    E                    A
The great to small, the small to grand
     E         B
Down to this instant
 
 
[Interlude]
 
E A E A E A E B
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    E               A
The hawk around the field mouse
    E             A
The love around a lover’s mouth
  E               A
I find my mind is settling down
   E        B
In circuits round you
        E                   A
And the angels round their crowded pins
    E            A
The amber-waved electrons spin
   E         A
In planetary transits
          E            B
Round the ones they’re bound to
 
 
[Interlude]
 
E A E A E A E B
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E          A
Who do you circle 'round?
   E      A
Who is it circles 'round you?
E     A                   E B
Is it circles 'round you?
E          A
Who do you circle 'round?
   E      A
Who is it circles 'round you?
E     A                   E B
Is it circles 'round you?
 
 
[Interlude]
 
E A E A E A E B
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    E                A
The ghost around the one it haunts
    E               A
The want around the thing it wants
    E                 A               E      B
The way the mind just wanders off and then returns to
        E                 A
And the thought around the second thought
E            A
Love or gravity or law
    E              A
Whatever name it’s got, it’s got me
E        B
Circling round you
        E                A
And the guess around the second guess
    E                 A
The hornet 'round the hornet’s nest
    E               A
The wheel time, the wheel fate
    E                  A
The light that bends itself through space
    E                  A
The light that with it carries time
      E             A
Which also bends in the same line
E           A
Relative to point of view
   E              A
So when I catch a glimpse of you
E              A
Every time you come around
    E
The room lights up
    A
And time slows too

Intro: E Esus x4  E E?
 
E                  Esus
So it was that everything
 
E				                         Esus
That went to make up everything
 
E				                         Esus
Was wrapped up tight inside a grain

The great to small the small to grand

Down to this instant
 
 
And repeat for the rest of the song.
 
Ooh!
 
The hawk around the field mouse
The love around a lover's mouth
I find my mind in settling down
In circuits round you
The angels 'round their crowded pins
The amber-waved electrons spin
In planetary transits
Round the ones they're bound to
 
Ooh!
 
Who do you circle round
Who is it circles round you
Is it circles round you?
Who is it circles round you
Do you circle round who
It is circles round you?
 
The ghost around the one it haunts
The want around the thing that wants
The way the mind just wanders off and then returns to
The thought around the second thought
Love or gravity or law
Whatever name it's got it's got me
Circling round you
The guess around the second guess
The hornet round the hornet's nest
The wheel time the wheel fate
The light that bends itself through space
The light that with it carries time
Which also bends in the same line
Relative to point of view
So when I catch a glimpse of you
Every time you come around
The room lights up
And time slow tooooooooooooo!
