[Verse 1]
    C                 F                  G
I’m telling you these things that I tell no one else
         F                   G
When I’m all alone, when I’m by myself
    C             F                G
And I believe you hear me though I have no proof
            F                          G      C
it’s what I feel inside that’s telling me the truth


[Chorus]
     F                            C  G
If I listen and I cannot hear the music
     F                         C                G
If I try to swim the ocean and cannot reach the shore
       F                                 C   G
If the world is offered love but doesn’t use it
      F               G
Oh Rosetta, what’s it for?


[Verse 2]
C              F              G
May I call you sister when we talk this way?
F                                      G
You make me feel as if there’s nothing I can’t say
C                  F                        G
I know I’m not the first one you’ve brought comfort to
        F                      G       C
And I’m not the last that will look to you


[Chorus]
     F                            C  G
If I wander and I cannot find the reason
     F                           C               G
If I keep my heart wide open and cannot feel the sun
        F                          C    G
And I’m not sure anymore what I believe in
      F                   G
Oh Rosetta, am I the only one?


[Verse 3]
C            F              G
One day I am walking down a lonely street
         F                    G
New York City’s cold, there's no-one to meet
          C          F            G
And at the corner of 57th and 7th Avenue
       F                 G          C
I hear someone sing and I know it’s you


[Chorus]
       F                           C  G
If I’m still and I cannot hear the choirs
     F                                 C             G
If I try to please the many instead of just the very few
        F                         C G
Can you hear me through invisible wires?
     F                    G
Oh Rosetta, what should I do?


[Outro]
     F                            C  G
If I listen and I cannot hear the music
     F                            C                 G
If I swim against the current and lose sight of the shore
       F                                     C   G
If the world is offered goodness but doesn’t use it
      F               G
Oh Rosetta, what’s it for?
