[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm running
up a spiral [G]staircase,
Drilling a hole [C]in the ground.
And the staircase is winning,
And my head is spinning,
And I [G]don't even dare to look [C]round.
[G]I'm running up a spiral staircase
[C]I can't reach the top.
[G]I'm running up a spiral staircase
And [C]I'm too scared to stop.
And there's [D]nothing
anybody can do
To stop the [F]staircase,
like a giant corkscrew,
From [D]spinning [C]around and [G]around
and [C]around and around.[G][C]
Now in the beginning I only saw you
When the [G]staircase hit your vision [C]line.
But now that it's moving around so fast
I can [G]see you all [C]of the time.
[G]I'm running up a spiral staircase
[C]I can't reach the top.
[G]I'm running up a spiral staircase
And [C]I'm too scared to stop.
And there's [D]nothing anybody can do
To stop the [F]staircase,
like a giant corkscrew,
From spinning [C]around [G]and around
and [C]around and around.

[Verse 2]
[G][C]
Now in the beginning it was moving so slowly
I [G]never noticed it [C]at first.
But now that it's moving round so fast
I [G]think my head is gonna [C]burst.
I'm [G]running up a spiral staircase
[C]I can't reach the top.
[G]I'm running up a spiral staircase
And [C]I'm too scared to stop.
And I [D]be lieve that I'm
gonna shot through
To stop the [F]staircase,
like a giant corkscrew,
From spinning [C]around [G]and around and around
[C]and around.[G][C]
[G][C][G][C][G]
[C][G][C]
[D][F]
[C][G]
[C]
Now without a doubt I'm a-wearing out
out
An[G]d I'm really beginning [C]to tire.
I know the staircase is steel
but it just about feels
As [G]though it's gonna catch on [C]fire.
[G]I'm running up a spiral staircase
[C]I can't reach the top.
[G]I'm running up a spiral staircase
And [C]I'm too scared to stop.
And I be[D]lieve that I'm
gonna shot through
To stop [F]the staircase,
like a giant corkscrew,
From spinning [C]around and [G]around [C]and[G][C]
[G]around
[C][G]
[C][D]
[F]and around.

[Outro 1]
