Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]If I could stick my hand in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
[D]Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange?
Ain't he [G]stra[F]nge[D]
[D]If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
[D]Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried?
If I [G]crie[F]d?[D][D]

[Chorus 1]
I said [G]I know it's only rock 'n roll but I l[D]ike it
[G]I know it's only rock 'n roll
but I [D]like it, [C]like it, [G]yes, I [D]do
Oh well, I [G]like it, I [D]like it, I [G]like it
I said [C]can't you [G]see that [C]this old [G]boy
has been a [D]lonely?

[Verse 2]
[D]If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
[D]Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain?
Ease your [G]brain?[F][D]
[D]If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
[D]Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane?
He's in[G]sane[F][D][D]

[Chorus 2]
I said [G]I know it's only rock 'n roll but I l[D]ike it
[G]I know it's only rock 'n roll
but I [D]like it, [C]like it, [G]yes, I [D]do
Oh well, I [G]like it, I [D]like it, I [G]like it
I said [C]can't you [G]see that [C]this old [G]boy
has been a [D]lonely?

[Bridge 1]
[A]And do ya think that you're the only
girl a[G]round?
[A]I bet you think that you're the only
woman in [G]town, oh yeah

[Chorus 3]
I said [G]I know it's only rock 'n roll but I l[D]ike it
I said, [G]I know it's only rock 'n roll but I l[D]ike it
[G]I know it's only rock 'n roll but I l[D]ike it
[G]I know it's only rock 'n roll
but I [D]like it, [C]like it, [G]yes, I [D]do
Oh, well, I [G]like it, I [D]like it,
I [G]like it, I [D]like it
I [G]like it, I [D]like it

(It's only rock 'n roll) but I [G]like it
