[Verse 1]
A
Windin' your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Em7
Well a nother crazy day
G
You'll drink the night away
D
And for get about everything
[Verse 2]
A
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
Em7
And it's taken you so long
G
To find out you were wrong
D
When you thought it held everything
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am
You used to think that it was so easy
Dm7 Am
You used to say that it was so easy
C
But you're tryin'
G D
You're tryin' now
Dm7 Am
Another year and then you'll be happy
Dm7 Am
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
C
But you're cryin'
G/B A F/G
You're cryin' now (..sax begins)

[Verse 3]
A
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door he's got that look on his face
Em7
And he asks you where you've been
G
You tell him who you've seen
D
And you talk about anything
[Verse 4]
A
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
Em7 G
And then he'll settle down in some quiet little town
D
And for get about everything
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am
But you know he'll always keep movin'
Dm7 Am
You know he's never gonna stop movin
C
Cause he's rollin' ^ ^^
G D C/D D
He's the rollin' stone
Dm7 Am
And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
Dm7 Am
The sun is shinin' it's a new mornin'
C
You're goin'
G/B A F/G
You're goin' on. (..sax solo begins)
