[Intro]
F#m B E A E
[Verse 1]
E A E I saw a rock in the street, and I wanted to take it home A E By I let it lie and passed it by, and I walked on F#m B7 E A E That rock could have been a fortune or just a worthless stone F#m B7 E A E I'll never know ’cause I didn't take it home
[Chorus]
F#m G#m F#m E I walked on and let the world go by F#m G#m F#m E A E And I never felt sorry or took the time to cry
[Verse 2]
E A E I saw a letter in the street, it didn't interest me A E A E So, I let it fly and passed it by, I didn’t even stop to see F#m B7 E A E It could have been from my mother, a message from a friend F#m B7 E A E I'll never know 'causе I never looked within
[Chorus]
F#m G#m E A E I had no feeling for lifе, and so I lived F#m G#m E A E But people simply did just what they did
[Verse 3]
E A E I saw a man in an alley, he looked a lot like me A E A E I thought I'd die but I passed him by, didn't even want to see F#m B7 E A E What I'd look like in years to come in an alley far from home F#m B7 E A E I couldn't believe that this could happen to me
[Chorus]
F#m G#m F#m E A E I walked on and let the world go by F#m G#m F#m E And I never felt sorry 'cause I was in my time F#m G#m F#m E A E ’Til I saw in an alley where my future lay F#m G#m F#m E A E And I’ve been tryin' to get home since that day
[Outro]
E A I was real hip E A Now, I’m in oblivion E My kaleidoscope is gone A I'm standing in a stupor E And having fun
