[Verse 1]
G
Been flyin' solo for so long
C                      D
Nobody's singin' the harmony
G
Up there just me and my shadow
    C                    D
No bass, no guitar, no tambourine
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em                        C
  And I found you like a melody
Em                         C
  You were singin' in the same key as me
Em
  We had ‘em dancin' in the streets
 
 
[Chorus]
                    C           D
I don't wanna be a one man band
                    G        D     Em
I don't wanna be a rolling stone, alone
                    C           D
Puttin' miles on a run-down van
                       G       D       Em
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
                    C                     D
I'll lay down the beat, you'll carry the tune
               G               D          Em
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
        C          D
Baby, take my hand
                    G
I don't wanna be a one man band
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
I wanna run down your wild dreams
C                    D
I wanna chase every high with you
G
Count every rip in these old jeans
C                         D
We'll never learn how to sing the blues
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em                  C
  If I'm gonna be famous
Em                   C
  Girl, I wanna be famous with you
Em                        D
  We got our own little groove
 
 
[Chorus]
                    C           D
I don't wanna be a one man band
                      G      D     Em
I don't wanna be a rolling stone, alone
                    C           D
Puttin' miles on a run-down van
                       G       D       Em
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
                   C                      D
I'll lay down the beat, you'll carry the tune
              G               D       Em
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
        C          D
Baby, take my hand
                           G
'Cause I don't wanna be a one man band
 
 
[Bridge]
                          C                          D
When the spotlight goes cold, and the curtains come down
                     G                  D        Em
The chairs are all stacked, and there's no one around
               C                      D
And nobody's payin', we’ll still be playin'
 
 
[Chorus]
                    C           D
I don't wanna be a one man band
                     G       D     Em
I don't wanna be a rolling stone, alone
                    C           D
Puttin' miles on a run-down van
                       G       D       Em
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
                    C                     D
I'll lay down the beat, you'll carry the tune
              G                D          Em
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
        C          D
Baby, take my hand
                           G
'Cause I don't wanna be a one man band
              Been flying solo for so long
Nobody's singing a harmony
Up there just me and my shadow
No bass, no guitar, no tambourine

And I found you like a melody
You were singing in the same key as me
We had 'em dancing in the streets

I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a rolling stone alone
Putting miles on a run-down van
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
I'll lay down the beat, you'll carry the tune
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
Baby, take my hand
I don't wanna be a one man band

No

I wanna run down your wild dreams
And I wanna chase every high with you
Count every rip in these old jeans
We'll never learn how to sing the blues

If I'm gonna be famous
Girl, I wanna be famous with you
We got our own little groove

I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a rolling stone alone
Putting miles on a run-down van
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
I'll lay down the beat, you'll carry the tune
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
Baby, take my hand
'Cause I don't wanna be a one man band

When the spotlight goes cold, the curtains come down
The chairs are all stacked, and there's no one around
And nobody's payin', we'll still be playin'

I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a rolling stone alone
Putting miles on a run-down van
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
I'll lay down the beat, you'll carry the tune
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
Baby, take my hand
'Cause I don't wanna be a one man band

I don't wanna be a one man band
