Winding your way down on Baker Street
 4  -4   -3   -3  -3  3  -3  -3  -3

Light in your head and dead on your feet
 4    -4  -3   -3 -3 3  -3  -3  -3  -3

Well, another crazy day
 -3  -2* 3 -2* 3 3   2

You'll drink the night away
 -1      3    3    3  3 -3 3

And forget about everything
 3  -2* 3 -2* -2* -2* 3 -2*

This city 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


You used to think that it was so easy
 3   4    4   4    -4   4 -4  4  -4 4

You used to say that it was so easy
 3   4   4   4   -4   4 -4  4  -4 4

But you're trying, you're trying now
 3    -5    4  3    -5    -4  3  -3

Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're crying, you're crying now


[Sax Part]


Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home
