verse 1
G G7 C
When you wake up in the morning, and you wonder,
G Em D
Why no one's beside you, where I usually lay,
G G7 C
And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder,
G D G
That's just your old rock, thats rolling away,
[Refrão] C C
I was a rock, standing strong for you,
G
there was nothing I wouldn't do,
Em D G
No matter the cost, I was ready to pay,
G7 C G
Now you say I was only holding you down,
G C
Like some old rock, You've been dragging around,
G D G
Yes I'm your rock, But I'm rolling away
verse 2
G G7 C
I'm rolling away, on a downhill grade,
G Em D
I'm gonna come to rest beside a mountain of love some day,
G G7 C
Cause I finally understand, if your resting on shifting sands,
G D G
even a rock goes rolling away,
[Refrão] C C
I was a rock, standing strong for you,
G
there was nothing I wouldn't do,
Em D G
No matter the cost, I was ready to pay,
G7 C G
Now you say I was only holding you down,
G C
Like some old rock, You've been dragging around,
G D G
Yes I'm your rock, But I'm rolling away
G D G
Yes I'm your rock, But I'm rolling away
