🎸 Intro: C F 🎸 Verse 1: C They build wooden houses on frozen ponds F In the summertime when the water's gone Diagonal lines in their rolled-out lawns C And the sage always smells so pretty C But nobody cares where the birds have gone F When the rain comes down on Babylon
The stone mason's phone rings all day long C And you gotta get back to the city 🎸 Chorus: F I'll build my house up on this rock, baby G Every day with you C There's nothin' in that town I need F After everything we've been through F G Me out in my garden and you out on your walk C Is all the distance this poor girl can take F Without listenin' to you talk G I don't need their money, baby C Just you and me on the rock F You and me on the rock 🎸 Verse 2: C I built paper planes when I learned to fly F Like a 747 fallin' out of the sky I folded 'em crooked, now I'm wonderin' why C I could always end up in the water C But nobody's askin' why she lookin' so thin F Why she laughin' too hard or why she drinkin' again A fallen star, she's a paper plane C She was goin' down when you caught her 🎸 Chorus: F I'll build my house up on this rock, baby G Every day with you C There's nothin' in that town I need F After everything we've been through F G Me out in my garden and you out on your walk C Is all the distance this poor girl can take F Without listenin' to you talk G I don't need their money, baby C Just you and me on the rock 🎸 Bridge: Bb F It's an earthquake, it's a harder wind C G It's a record breakin' tide and it is rollin' in Bb F It's a big sea, but it can't touch you and me G It's just not water for you C And what are you? F I don't need their money, baby Woo 🎸 Instrumental: C F , 🎸 Chorus: F I'll build my house up on this rock, baby G Every day with you C There's nothin' in that town I need F After everything we've been through F G Me out in my garden and you out on your walk C Is all the distance this old girl can take F Without listenin' to you talk G I don't need their money, baby C Just you and me on the rock 🎸 Outro: F I don't need their money, baby (I don't need their money, baby) C Just you and me on the rock (Just you and me on the rock) F C You and me on the rock
