Verse 1

Winding your way down on Baker Street 
Lite in your head, and dead on your feet 
Well an- other crazy day, you drink the night away
And for- get about e- very- thing
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 e- very- thing

Chorus 1

You used to think that it was so ea- sy
You used to say that it was so ea- sy
C G D Dsus2 - D - Dsus4 - D
But you're tryin, you're tryin now
Another year and then you'd be ha- ppy
Just one more year and then you'd be ha- ppy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now

Verse 2

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 a- ny- thing
He's got this dream a- bout buyin' 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 for- get about e- very- thing

Chorus 2

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