Standard (EADGBE)
Yeah it makes perfect sense
Seeing how the seeds were sown
To find you out there on your own
You said your good-byes
And broke all the ties
It struck me dumb to think I tried for you
Tonight you can feel the season changing
You'll never change when you're no better than the weather
You're cool
But there's rain in your heart
You're blown like a feather
And that's the oldest story in the world
You lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Did we have it made?
Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts, no one's to blame
But you can't look back to where you got off the track
And that's a mystery that we'll never crack
It's just the oldest story in the world
We lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Someday we've got to set it right
And that's the oldest story in the world
You'll hear it again and again
That's the oldest story in the world, yeah

Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts, no one's to blame
And you can't look back to where you got off the track
That's a mystery that we'll never crack
And that's the oldest story in the world
Someday we've got to set it right
That's the oldest story in the world
Just like a Rolling Stone
That's the oldest story- that's the oldest story
Now you can't go home
And that's the oldest story in the world
Well I don't want to leave but it's time to go
Where?
Well, I just don't know
(--)
And that's the oldest story in the world, yeah
