a
Winding your way down on Baker Street
A
Lite in your head, and dead on your feet

Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
D
And forget about everything

This city's desert makes you feel so cold, it's got

So many people but it's got no soul

And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong

When you thought it held everything.

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
