a
Winding your way down on Baker Street
A
Lite in your head, and dead on your feet
Em G
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
D
And forget about everything
A
This city's desert makes you feel so cold, it's got
A
So many people but it's got no soul
Em G
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
D
When you thought it held everything.
Dm7 Am7
You used to think that it was so easy
Dm7 Am7
You used to say that it was so easy
C G D
But you're trying, you're trying now

Another year and then you'd be happy
Dm7 Am7
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
C G A
But you're crying, you're crying now
(Intro)
A
Way down the street there's a light in his place
A
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
Em G
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
D
And you talk about everything
A
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
Em G
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
D
And forget about everything
Dm7 Am7
But you know he'll always keep moving
Dm7 Am7
You know he's never gonna stop moving
C G D
Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
Dm7 Am7
And when you wake up it's a new morning
Dm7 Am7
The sun is shining it's a new morning
C G A
And you're going, you're going home
