Verse

And Buffin lost his child-like dreams

And Mick lost his guitar

And Verden grew a line or two

And Overends' just a rock 'n' roll star

Behind these shades

The vision fades

As I learn a thing or two

And if I had my time again

You all know just what I'd do

Chorus

DRock 'n' rolls' a lCosers loser's game

It mBmesmerises and I cGan't eG7xplain

The rCeasons for the Dsights and for the Gsounds C G

DWe went off somewhere Con the way

And Bmnow I see we hGave to pG7ay

The rCock 'n' roll circusD is in tCown Bm Am G C

It mBmesmerises and I cGan't eG7xplain

The rCeasons for the Dsights and for the Gsounds C G

The Dgreasepaint still sticks tCo my face

So wBmhat the hell, I caGn't erasG7e

The rCock and roll feeling Dfrom my miCnd Bm Am G C

C Bm Am G until the end

From my mind
