E
If I could stick my pen in my heart
I would spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
Would you think the boy is strange?
            A G E
Ain't he strange?

E
If I could win ya, If I could sing ya
a love song so divine
would it be enough for your cheating heart
if I broke down and cried?
       A G E
If I cried?

Chorus:
            A                                         E
     I said I know... it's only rock and roll, but I like it
     A
     I know... it's only rock and roll,
            E        D        A     E
     but I like it, like it, yes I do
             A
     Oh well I like it
        E
     I like it
        A
     I like it
             D         A
     I said can't you see
            D       A              E
     that this old boy has been a-lonely

E
If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on the stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain?
            A G E
Ease your brain?

E
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
Would you think the boy's insane?
        A G E
He's insane
