[Verse 1]
When you Gwake up in the G7morning, and you Cwonder,
Why no one's beGside you, where I usually Emlay,D  
And you Gthink you hear a G7sound of distant Cthunder,
That's just your old Grock Drollin' aGway,
[Chorus]
I was a Crock standing strong for you,
There was Gnothing I wouldn't do,
No matter the Emcost,   DI was ready to Gpay,
Now you G7say I'm Conly holding you down,
Like some old Grock you've been dragging aCround,
Yes, I'm your Grock,   Dbut I'm rollin' aGway
[Verse 2]
GI'm rollin' away, G7on a downhill Cgrade,
I'm gonna Gcome to rest beside a mountain of love some Emday,D  
'Cause I Gfinally underG7stand, if your Cresting on shifting sands,
Even a Grock   Dgoes rollin' aGway,
[Chorus]
I was a Crock standing strong for you,
There was Gnothing I wouldn't do,
No matter the Emcost,   DI was ready to Gpay,
Now you G7say I'm Conly holding you down,
Like some old Grock you've been dragging aCround,
Yes, I'm your Grock,   Dbut I'm rollin' aGwayC  
Yes, I'm your Grock,   Dbut I'm rollin' aGway

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

G G7 C

When you wake up in the morning, and you wonder,

G Em D

Why no one's beside you, where I usually lay,

G G7 C

And you think you hear a sound of distant thunder,

G D G

That's just your old rock rollin' away,

[Chorus]

I was a rock standing strong for you,

There was nothing I wouldn't do,

Em D G

No matter the cost, I was ready to pay,

Now you say I'm only holding you down,

G C

Like some old rock you've been dragging around,

G D G

Yes, I'm your rock, but I'm rollin' away

[Verse 2]

G G7 C

I'm rollin' away, on a downhill grade,

G Em D

I'm gonna come to rest beside a mountain of love some day,

G G7 C

'Cause I finally understand, if your resting on shifting sands,

G D G

Even a rock goes rollin' away,

[Chorus]

I was a rock standing strong for you,

There was nothing I wouldn't do,

Em D G

No matter the cost, I was ready to pay,

G7 C

Now you say I'm only holding you down,

G C

Like some old rock you've been dragging around,

G D G C

Yes, I'm your rock, but I'm rollin' away

Yes, I'm your rock, but I'm rollin' away
