C                    Dm
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Em                    F              G7
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
C              Dm                      Em
People'd call, say beware doll, you're bound to fall
    F                     G7
You thought they were all kiddin' you
F           G           F                 G
You used to laugh about everyone that was hangin' out
F       Em    Dm      C
Now you don't talk so loud
F       Em    Dm      C
Now you don't seem so proud
      F                                            G7
About havin' to be scroungin' around for your next meal


            C     F    G
How does it feel?
F           C     F    G
How does it feel?
      F       C   F    G
To be on your own
          F       C     F    G
With no direction home
          F       C      F    G
Like a complete unknown
       F       C      F     G
Like a rolling stone

You've gone to the finest schools, all right Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody ever taught you how to live out on the street
You found out now you gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal

You never went down to the see frowns on the jugglers
And the clowns when they all came down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good,
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride your chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulders a siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They all drinkin' thinkin' that they got it made
Exchangin' all kinds of precious gifts, you'd better take
That diamond ring of yours, you better pawn it,babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
