[D] [G]
When you wake up in the morning [C] and you're wondering why no one
[G] beside you
For years [Em] you lay [D]
[G] in your bed, sitting like [C] a piston cup
That's the spirit [G] of the rock [D]
[G] rolling away
I was [C] a rock [G] sitting on the [C] moon
[G] There was nothing I would do, no matter [Em] the cost
[D]
I was ready [G] to pay
But [Em] now they say [C] I'm old, old time
[G] Like some old rock you've been dragging [C] around
[Am] Yes, [G]
I'm your rock [D]
[Em] [G] rolling away
I'm rolling away on a downhill [C] break
I'm [G] gonna come to rest beside my beloved [Em] someday
[D]
[G] Because I finally understand, [C] if you're resting on a sheet
Even [G] a rock [D] is [G] rolling away
I [C] was a rock standing strong for you
[G] There was nothing I would do, no matter [Em] the cost
I [D]
was ready [G] to pay
But now they say [C] I'm old, old time
Like some [G] old rock you've [Am] been dragging [G] [C] around
Yes, [G] I'm your rock [D]
[Em] rolling [G] away
I'm rolling away on a downhill [C] break
[G] I'm gonna come to rest beside my beloved [Em] someday
[D]
Because [G] I finally understand, if [C] you're resting on a sheet
Even [G] a rock [D]
is rolling [G] away
[C]
Even [G] a rock [D] is rolling [G] away
