[F] And [Gm]
another crazy [Bb] day you drink the night away [F] and you talk about anything.
[C]
This city desert makes you feel so [F] cold.
It's got [C] so many people but it's got no
soul [Gm] and it's taken you so [Bb] long to find out you were wrong [F] when you thought it held everything.
You [Fm]
used to think that [Cm] it was so easy.
[Fm]
Always said that [Cm] it was so easy.
[Eb]
You're trying, [Bb] you're trying [F]
now.

Another year and [Cm] then you'll be happy.

Way down the street there's a light in his [Fm] place.
He opens [C] the door, [G] he's got that look on [C] his face.
[Gm] And he asks you where you've been.
And you [Bb] tell him who you've [F] seen.
And you talk about everything.
[C]
He's got this dream about buying [Bb] some land.
[C]
Give up the [Fm] booze and the one [C] night stand.
[Gm] And then he'll settle down [Bb] in some quiet little town [F] and forget about everything.
But [Fm]
you know [Cm] he'll always keep moving.
[Fm]
You know he's never [Cm] gonna stop moving.
[Eb] Cause he's rolling, [Bb] he's the rolling [F]
stone.
[Fm]
When you wake up [Cm] it's a new morning.
[Fm]
The sun is shining, [Cm] it's a new morning.
