Chords

[Intro] C F C G C F C G [Verse 1]
    C                 F                  G
I’m telling you these things that I tell no one else

         F                   G
When I’m all alone, when I’m by myself

    C             F                G
And I believe you hear me though I have no proof

            F                          G      C
it’s what I feel inside that’s telling me the truth
[Chorus]
     F                            C  G
If I listen and I cannot hear the music

     F                         C                G
If I try to swim the ocean and cannot reach the shore

       F                                 C   G
If the world is offered love but doesn’t use it

      F               G
Oh Rosetta, what’s it for?
[Verse 2]
C              F              G
May I call you sister when we talk this way?

F                                      G
You make me feel as if there’s nothing I can’t say

C                  F                        G
I know I’m not the first one you’ve brought comfort to

        F                      G       C
And I’m not the last that will look to you
[Chorus]
     F                            C  G
If I wander and I cannot find the reason

     F                           C               G
If I keep my heart wide open and cannot feel the sun

        F                          C    G
And I’m not sure anymore what I believe in

      F                   G
Oh Rosetta, am I the only one?
[Verse 3]
C            F              G
One day I am walking down a lonely street

         F                    G
New York City’s cold, there's no-one to meet

          C          F            G
And at the corner of 57th and 7th Avenue

       F                 G          C
I hear someone sing and I know it’s you
[Chorus]
       F                           C  G
If I’m still and I cannot hear the choirs

     F                                 C             G
If I try to please the many instead of just the very few

        F                         C G
Can you hear me through invisible wires?

     F                    G
Oh Rosetta, what should I do?
[Outro]
     F                            C  G
If I listen and I cannot hear the music

     F                            C                 G
If I swim against the current and lose sight of the shore

       F                                     C   G
If the world is offered goodness but doesn’t use it

      F               G
Oh Rosetta, what’s it for?
