Bm                     G           D
Yeah it makes perfect sense
                 A
Seeing how the seeds were sown
A#                    Bm
To find you out there on your own
G
You said your good-byes
D
And broke all the ties
A                             A#
It struck me dumb to think I tried for you
Bm               G
Tonight you can feel the season changing
D                                  A
You'll never change when you're no better than the weather
A#
You're cool
            Bm
But there's rain in your heart
G                               D
You're blown like a feather
A                           A#
And that's the oldest story in the world
Bm                       G
You lost the key to paradise
D                       A                  A#
That's the oldest story in the world


Bm             G             D
Did we have it made?
                      A
Somehow I thought we could remain
A#                Bm
If nothing lasts, no one's to blame
G                                     D
But you can't look back to where you got off the track
A                                A#
And that's a mystery that we'll never crack

Bm                          G
It's just the oldest story in the world
D                   A
We lost the key to paradise
A#                      Bm
That's the oldest story in the world
     G                       D
Someday we've got to set it right
A                           A#
And that's the oldest story in the world
Bm                        G
You'll hear it again and again
D                       A              A#
That's the oldest story in the world, yeah

A                       A#
That's the oldest story in the world
Bm                   G
Just like a Rolling Stone
D                        A
That's the oldest story- that's the oldest story
A#               Bm
Now you can't go home
G                           D
And that's the oldest story in the world
A                          A#
Well I don't want to leave but it's time to go
Bm
Where?
G                  D
Well, I just don't know
A                           A#                 (A-A#-Bm)
And that's the oldest story in the world, yeah
