Intro:
A augmentedA A7A7 D MajorD x8


Verse 1:
 A augmentedA      A7A7        D MajorD
I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
   A augmentedA      A7A7   D MajorD
Whose head rests upon the bed
A augmentedA       A7A7       D MajorD
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
G+G                            D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
 Who seems to be so close to you instead, close to you instead

Verse 2:
  A augmentedA   A7A7       D MajorD
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
  A augmentedA       A7A7       D MajorD
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
A augmentedA     A7A7     D MajorD
 I guess I cannot have everything
G+G                                     D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
 So much has flown between the years, when I was twenty and you were seventeen


Chorus:
FF             Bb majorBb
 So out of choice I chose rock and roll
    FF              Bb majorBb
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
     G+G             C majorC
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
G#G#           C minorCm        G#G#       G+G
 From there on, there seemed no use for you, for you to stay


Verse 3:
  A augmentedA  A7A7      D MajorD  A augmentedA       A7A7  D MajorD
And if I shower around 3 a.m, it's just to wash away
  A augmentedA     A7A7   D MajorD   G+G                          D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
The trace of a love unwanted. Oh, in the times I went astray, the times I went astray


Chorus:
FF             Bb majorBb
 So out of choice I chose rock and roll
    FF              Bb majorBb
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
     G+G             C majorC
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
G#G#           C minorCm        G#G#       G+G
 From there on, there seemed no use for you, for you to stay

  A augmentedA   A7A7       D MajorD

  A augmentedA       A7A7       D MajorD
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
A augmentedA     A7A7     D MajorD
 I guess I cannot have everything
G+G                                     D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
 So much has flown between the years, when I was twenty and you were seventeen
