Free as a driving wheel
Circling around your iron will
See only what you feel
Keeps you turning when you're standing still
You try to run from trouble when it comes
You follow the drum
Keeping time with everyone
High as the light of day
Falling down across your lost highway
Why does it hurt this way?
To come so far to find they've closed the gates
You've lost your tongue when you fall from the pendulum
Your heart is a drum
Keeping time with everyone
Everyone, hear the drum from the undertow
I need to find someone to show me how to play it slow
And just let it go
ch /ch
ch /ch
Your eyes get stung by the rays of the sinkin' sun
You follow the drum
Keeping time with everyone
Going beat, beat, beat
ch /ch
It's beating me down
Beat, beat, beat, beat
ch /ch
It's beating me down
ch /ch
Day after day it's turning around
Till all my days are drowning out
The original riff (or main theme) shifts between C and Csus4, but it's difficult to play
in standard tuning, and it can't really be expressed with chords.
So I'll recommend an alternative strumming pattern for the riff:
If you want to play the original riff, you can use a capo on the third fret and
transpose the chords (Beck plays the c-note an octave lower, though):
