        E
Looking out for a girl called Caroline
                                   D
the kinda girl e'body likes to meet
E
standing there like she couldn't care
        F#
with a heart that never missed a beat

She got a look and you know that it's always there
I wouldn't have it any other way
Fact is you can't take her anywhere
there is no reason but I gotta say

            B
She's your very best friend
             A            E
when you're digging in a hole
     B
she reads a good book
         A                  E
but she loves her rock 'n' roll
 B                           A              E
say what you like but she's gonna take control
F#
Caroline, dirty, got a lotta soul

Gotta run, gotta hide, get outside of town
so when we go she ain't so far behind
seems like another day in paradise
another day for me to lose my mind

She'd be there, anywhere given half a chance
and I believe everybody knows
she is a girl and you can't ignore
and isn't that the way it always goes


She's your very best friend
when you're digging in a hole
she reads a good book
but she loves her rock 'n' roll
say what you like but she's gonna take control
Caroline, dirty, got a lotta soul

        B                       A             E
So I'm never going back, gotta keep it moving on
      B                            A
they have me doing this, when it's over dead and
 E
gone
B                              A           E
no more looking cool down the barrel of a gun
F#
come on Caroline, still we gotta run
come on Caroline

She got a look and you know that it's always there
I wouldn't have it any other way
Fact is you can't take her anywhere
there is no reason but I gotta say

She's your very best friend
when you're digging in a hole
she reads a good book
but she loves her rock 'n' roll
say what you like but she's gonna take control
Caroline, dirty, got a lotta soul

So I'm never going back, gotta keep it moving on
they have me doing this, when it's over dead and
gone
no more looking cool down the barrel of a gun
come on Caroline, still we gotta run

            B
She's your very best friend
              A           E
when you're digging in a hole
     B
she reads a good book
         A                   E  
but she loves her rock 'n' roll
B                            A           E
say what you like but she's gonna take control
F#
Caroline, dirty, got a lotta soul
