[Intro]
C F C G
C F C G
[Verse 1]
I’m Ctelling you these Fthings that I tell Gno one else
When I’m Fall alone, when I’m Gby myself
And CI believe you Fhear me though I Ghave no proof
it’s what I Ffeel inside that’s telling Gme the Ctruth
[Chorus]
If I Flisten and I cannot hear the CmusGic
If I Ftry to swim the ocean and Ccannot reach the Gshore
If the Fworld is offered love but doesn’t Cuse Git
Oh RosFetta, what’s it Gfor?
[Verse 2]
CMay I call you Fsister when we Gtalk this way?
FYou make me feel as if there’s nothing GI can’t say
CI know I’m not the Ffirst one you’ve brought Gcomfort to
And I’m Fnot the last that will Glook to Cyou
[Chorus]
If I Fwander and I cannot find the CreaGson
If I Fkeep my heart wide open and Ccannot feel the Gsun
And I’m Fnot sure anymore what I belCieve Gin
Oh RosFetta, am I the only Gone?
[Verse 3]
COne day I am Fwalking down a Glonely street
New York FCity’s cold, there's Gno-one to meet
And at the Ccorner of F57th and 7th GAvenue
I hear Fsomeone sing and I Gknow it’s Cyou
[Chorus]
If I’m Fstill and I cannot hear the CchoGirs
If I Ftry to please the many instead of Cjust the very Gfew
Can you Fhear me through invisible CwiGres?
Oh RoFsetta, what should I Gdo?
[Outro]
If I Flisten and I cannot hear the CmusGic
If I Fswim against the current and Close sight of the Gshore
If the Fworld is offered goodness but doesn’t Cuse Git
Oh RosFetta, what’s it Gfor?
