Verse 1:
[A] Winding your way down on [A] Baker Street 
[A] Light in your head and [A] dead on your feet 
Well a-[Em]nother crazy day... you [G] drink the night away
And for-[D]get about everything

[A] This city desert makes you [A] feel so cold... it’s got 
[A] So many people but it’s [A] got no soul
And it’s [Em] taken you so long... to [G] find out you were wrong 
When you [D] thought it held everything

|Chorus 1:
|[Dm] You used to think that it was [Am] so easy
|[Dm] You used to say that it was [Am] so easy
|But [C] you’re tryin’... [G] you’re tryin’ [D] now  
|[Dm] Another year and then you’d [Am] be happy
|[Dm] Just one more year and then you’d [Am] be happy
|But [C] you’re cryin’... [G] you’re cryin’ [A] now [F]

Verse 2:
[A] Way down the street there’s a [A] light in his place
You [A] open the door he’s got that [A] look on his face
And he [Em] asks you where you’ve been... you [G] tell him who you’ve seen 
And you [D] talk about anything

[A] He’s got this dream about [A] buyin’ some land
He’s gonna [A] give up the booze and the [A] one night stands 
And [Em] then he’ll settle down... in some [G] quiet little town
And for-[D] get about everything

|Chorus 2:
|[Dm] But you know he’ll always [Am] keep moving 
|[Dm] You know he’s never gonna [Am] stop moving 
|Cos [C] he’s rollin’... [G] he’s the rollin’ [D] stone [D]
|[Dm] And when you wake up it’s a [Am] new morning 
|[Dm] The sun is shining it’s a [Am] new morning
|And [C] you’re going... [G] you’re going [A] home [F]
