     Dm       Am7    
The world is turnin',

All my pictures are fallin' from the wall
                         Fmaj7
    where I placed them yesterday.

The world is turnin',
                    Dm    Am7
    I hope it don't turn away.

I need a crowd of people,
    but I can't face them day to day,
I need a crowd of people,
    but I can't face them day to day.
Though my problems are meaningless,
    that don't make them go away.
I need a crowd of people,
    but I can't face them day to day.

Instrumental (same chords)

I went to the radio interview,
    but I ended up alone at the microphone,
I went to the radio interview,
    but I ended up alone at the microphone.
Now I'm livin' out here on the beach,
    but those seagulls are still out of reach.
I went to the radio interview,
    but I ended up alone at the microphone.

Get out of town, think I'll get out of town,
Get out of town, think I'll get out of town.
I head for the sticks with my bus and friends,
I follow the road, though I don't know where it ends.
Get out of town, get out of town,
    think I'll get out of town.

'Cause the world is turnin',
    I don't want to see it turn away.

Suggestion from David M:
Try the following run after the 2nd 'world is turning..' in the second line above, using Dm:
  XX0231
  XX0765
  XX0768
  XX0,10,10,10
  XX0,10,10,12   - "hope it don't turn
  XX00,10,10,10, -  a-
  X05555         -  way"
