I'm a rolling stone
G4 G G2 G B5 E5

It took you by surprise
G4 G G2 G B5
E5                  Cadd9 C

 any-thing
E5
Just like a shimmer
         G4 G G2 G B5
of light

Oh, how the sword,
         G4 G G2 G B5 E5
 it fell

I said, "You're really

To    me, and I'm   cold

But I can't think of one
  G
I don't understand why
     D
you like me so much
        Am            C
'Cause I don't like myself,

They'll come from miles
      G4 G G2 G B5 E5
around

   A6   A  Cadd9
So hold me closer, baby
