INTRO:  A  D  A  G  D  (2x)

A
Windin' your way down on Baker Street 
Light in your head and dead on your feet
    D                          G
Well another crazy day, you'll drink the night away 
     D/A
And forget about everything
A
Those city streets make you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
     D                      G
It's takin' you so long to find out you were wrong 
         D/A
When you thought it held everything


CHORUS:
Bm                        A        Bm                      A
Used to think that it was so easy, used to say that it was so easy
     G              D             A
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Bm                           A         Bm                                 A
Another year and then you'll be happy, just one more year and then you'll be happy
    G              D             A
But you're pryin', you're pryin' now

INTRO

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


CHORUS 2:

But you know he's gonna keep movin, no he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's a rollin, he's a rollin' stone
When you wake up it's a new mornin', the sun is shinin' it's a new mornin'
You're goin', you're goin' home
