[Intro]
F#
F#When you wake up in the mornin'
And you Bwonder why no one's F#beside you where I usually D#minlay,C#  
And you F#think you hear the sound of distant Bthunder,
Well, that's just your old F#rock (just your old C#rock) a-rollin' aF#way
I was a Brock standing strong for you.
Oh, there was F#nothing that I wouldn't do.
No matter the D#mincost,    C#I was ready to F#pay.
Now you say I'm Bonly holdin' you down
Like some old F#rock you've been draggin' aBround.
Yes, I'm your F#rock (just your old C#rock), but now I'm rollin' aF#way.
I'm rollin' aF#way on a downhill Bgrade, 
But I'm F#gonna come to rest 'side a mountain of love some C#day.
'Cause I F#finally understand, if you're Bresting on shifting sands,
Well, even a F#rock (even a C#rock) will go a-rollin' aF#way.
I was a Brock standing strong for you.
No, there was F#nothing that I wouldn't do.
No matter the D#mincost,    C#I was ready to F#pay.
Now you say I'm Bonly holdin' you down
Like some old F#rock you've been draggin' aBround.
Yes, I was your F#rock (just your old C#rock), but now I'm rollin' aF#way.B  
Honey, I was your F#rock (just your old C#rock), now I'm rollin' aBway. F#  C#  F#
