[E] I'm telling you [A] these things that I [B] tell no one else, when [A] I'm all alone, when [B] I'm by myself.
[E] And I believe [A] you hear [G#m] me, though [B] I have no proof.
It's what I [A] feel inside, it's [B] telling me the [E] truth.
[A] If I listen and I cannot hear [C#m] the music, [B]
[E] if I [A] try to swim the ocean [C#m] and cannot reach the
shore, [E] if the [A] world has offered love and [C#m] doesn't use [G#m] it.
Oh [A] Rosetta, what's it for?
[B]
[E] May I [A] call you [E] sister [B] when we talk this way?
You make me [A] feel as if there's nothing [B] I can't say.
[E] I know I'm not the [A] first [G#m] one you've brought [B] comfort to, and [A] I'm not the last that [B] will
look to [E] you.
[A] If I wander and I cannot [C#m] find reason, [B]
[E] if [A] I keep my heart wide open, you [C#m] cannot feel
[B] the sun.
[E] And [A] I'm not sure anymore of what [C#m] I believe [B] in.
[E] Oh [A] Rosetta, am I the only [B] one?

[E] One day I'm walking down [B] a lonely street, New [A] York City's cold, there's [B] no one to meet.
And at [E] the corner of [A] 57th and [B] 7th Avenue, I [A] hear someone sing, and [G#m] I [B] know it's [E] you.
If [A] I'm still and I cannot [C#m] hear the [B] wires, [E] if I [A] try to please the many [C#m] instead of just
the very [B] few, [E] [A] can you hear me through invisible [C#m] [B] wires?
[E] Oh [A] Rosetta, what should I do?
[E] If [A] I listen and I cannot [C#m] hear the music,
[E] if I [A] swim against the current [C#m] and lose sight
[B] of the [E] shore, if the [A] world has offered goodness but [C#m] doesn't use [G#m] it, [A] oh Rosetta, what's it for?
