D7
It is what it is
F7
No bell, book or candle
B7 B7+ B7
Can get you out of this, oh no
I'm stoned, I'm stoned, I'm stoned
I'm stoned
I'm stoned, I'm stoned, I'm stoned
Every day of my life
I just manage to survive
I just wanna stay alive
You don't have to worry
In heaven or hell
Just dance to the music
You do it so well, well, well
E7
Hatred and jealousy
D9
Are gonna be the death of me
C9 E7
I guess I knew it right from the start
Sing out about love and peace
Don't wanna see the red raw meat
The green-eyed goddamn straight from your heart
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of being so alone
No place to call my own
Like a rolling stone
