[Verse 1]
E
If I could stick my pen in my heart
E
And spill it all over the stage
E
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
G                    A      E
Would you think the boy is strange?
E          A G E
Ain't he st-ra-nge?
E
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
E
A love song so divine
E
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
G            A         E
If I broke down and cried?
      A G E
If I cr-i-ed?
[Chorus]
E      A                                    E
I said I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it
A                                     E                 A     E
I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
E            A          E          A
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it 
 A                                                  E
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
[Verse 2]
E
If I could stick a knife in my heart
E
Suicide right on stage
E
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
G                 A        E
Would it help to ease the pain?
E          A G E
Ease your br-a-in?
E
If I could dig down deep in my heart
E
Feelings would flood on the page
E
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
G                    A      E
Would ya think the boy's insane?
E      A G E
He's ins-a-ne
[Chorus]
E      A                                    E
I said I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it
A                                     E                A      E
I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
E            A          E         A
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it 
 A                                                  E
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
B                                           A
And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
B                                              A
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town, ah, ooh yeah
