B5                     G5           D5
Yeah it makes perfect sense
                 A5
Seeing how the seeds were sown
Bb5                    B5
To find you out there on your own
G5
You said your good-byes
D5
And broke all the ties
A5                             Bb5
It struck me dumb to think I tried for you
B5               G5
Tonight you can feel the season changing
D5                                  A5
You'll never change when you're no better than the weather
Bb5
You're cool
            B5
But there's rain in your heart
G5                               D5
You're blown like a feather
A5                           Bb5
And that's the oldest story in the world
B5                       G5
You lost the key to paradise
D5                       A5                  Bb5
That's the oldest story in the world


B5             G5             D5
Did we have it made?
                      A5
Somehow I thought we could remain
Bb5                B5
If nothing lasts, no one's to blame
G5                                     D5
But you can't look back to where you got off the track
A5                                Bb5
And that's a mystery that we'll never crack

B5                          G5
It's just the oldest story in the world
D5                   A5
We lost the key to paradise
Bb5                      B5
That's the oldest story in the world
     G5                       D5
Someday we've got to set it right
A5                           Bb5
And that's the oldest story in the world
B5                        G5
You'll hear it again and again
D5                       A5              Bb5
That's the oldest story in the world, yeah

G5                     D5
Somehow I thought we could remain
A5                 Bb5
If nothing lasts, no one's to blame
        B5                           G5
And you can't look back to where you got off the track
D5                           A5
That's a mystery that we'll never crack
Bb5                          B5
And that's the oldest story in the world
     G5                      D5
Someday we've got to set it right
A5                       Bb5
That's the oldest story in the world
B5                   G5
Just like a Rolling Stone
D5                        A5
That's the oldest story- that's the oldest story
Bb5               B5
Now you can't go home
G5                           D5
And that's the oldest story in the world
A5                          Bb5
Well I don't want to leave but it's time to go
B5
Where?
G5                  D5
Well, I just don't know
A5                           Bb5                 ( A5 - Bb5 - B5 )
And that's the oldest story in the world, yeah
