Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
 note key change) - - - -  (  leads into next verse)
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
