Rush - Big Wheel: chords

            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...
