This is the chord version of Wil's Rolling Stone performance. He played it with the capo on fourth but the
chords are simpler on third if you're just going to strum along in that key.

[Verse 1]
D G
Woke up laughing on a hardwood floor
Bm A7
In a five-storey walk-up somewhere in New York
D G
Still damp from laying out on the roof
Bm A7
Still smiling from opening my eyes and looking at you
D G
And if I walk around Brooklyn with my headphones in
Bm A7
A hot cup of coffee that I spill while I’m air-drumming
D G
Will I one day bump into you as if by accident
Bm A7
See if you wanna go somewhere and get a drink
[Chorus]
G
I’ve been laughing or pretending to laugh
A D
I’ve been crying or pretending to cry
G A
But I could stand on this corner and watch you walk my way for the
D
rest of my life
[Verse 2]
D G
It was snowing when we drove back through the city
Bm A7
Wanted to climb up on your fire escape and kiss you on your pretty face
D G
But I lay in the van and I stared into space
Bm A7
Half-smiling, half-flying, half-asleep, half-awake and
D G
I just really needed you to know that you don’t
Bm A7
Have to wait out this snow alone and
D G
Maybe I am just a reminder of home
Bm A7
But I still think we made each other feel something good
[Chorus]
G
I’ve been laughing or pretending to laugh
A D
I’ve been crying or pretending to cry
G A
But I could stand on this corner and watch you walk my way for the
D
rest of my life
G A D
And I don’t wanna marry you just yet but at least let me get you a cider
G A
I don’t even think I’d have to pay for it, hopefully there’s a couple
D
left on the rider
G A
Just because I’ve got a lot to learn does not mean that I am
D
inherently a piece of shit
G A
Just because I don’t think I know everything doesn’t mean that I
D
don’t know anything
G A
And I don’t wanna marry you just yet although it’d probably
D
help with my visa
G A
And we can continue having this conversation I’ll just go and get us
D
both a Bacardi Breezer and
G A
Just because I’ve got a lot to learn does not mean that I am
D
inherently a piece of shit
G A
Just because I don’t think I know everything doesn’t mean that I
D
don’t know anything
