[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm
I heard the stories 'bout the one in the hills
Dm
I read the papers where they thought it was pills
Gm Dm
I've seen the future and the future isn't what I believed
Gm
I've seen the one that had the money to burn
Gm
I've seen him waitin' for his line and his turn
Dm
And it's all too plain and simple and real
[Chorus]
F C
The rock's steady we know
G Dm
The rock's steady it's always exciting
F C
The rock's steady we know
G Dm
The rock's steady but the players come and they go
F G Dm
They come and they go
[Verse 2]
Dm
I've heard the stories 'bout the one at the beach
Dm
And all his millions that are still out of reach
Dm
And now I hear he wants a medal just to get out of bed
Gm
We get abandoned by the people we cheer
Gm
I had a hero but he's no longer here
Dm
And it's all too painful and simple and real
[Chorus]
F C
The rock's steady we know
G Dm
The rock's steady it's always exciting
F C
The rock's steady we know
G Dm
The rock's steady but the players come and they go
Dm
Come and they go
