Tom : Dm
A A7 D
I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
A A7 D
Whose head rests upon the bed
A A7 D
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
G D G D
Who seems to be so close to you instead, close to you instead
[Verse 2]
[Refrão]
A A7 D
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
A A7 D
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
A A7 D
I guess I cannot have everything
G D G D
So much has flown between the years, when I was twenty and you were seventeen
[Chorus]
F Bb
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
F Bb
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
G C
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
G# Cm G# G
From there on, there seemed no use for you, for you to stay
[Verse 3]
A A7 D A A7 D
And if I shower around 3 a.m, it's just to wash away
A A7 D G D G D
The trace of a love unwanted. Oh, in the times I went astray, the times I went astray
[Chorus]
F Bb
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
F Bb
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
G C
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
G# Cm G# G
From there on, there seemed no use for you, for you to stay
[Instrumental]

Wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh

So much has flown between the years When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
