[Verse 1]
D         A           E     A
I may not be a pillar in my town
D                   A        E            A
Or have the kind of job you think that I should.
D          A          E        A     G
I know you see me out running around with a couple of people
E
You think are no good.
D             A             E         A
I've tried to clean it up a couple of times, but I'm a
D           A            E                A      
Backslidin' fool when it comes to walkin' that line.
D       A            E           A 
It's OK. You think you're better than me.
G                             E
Yeah, that's all right, girl, that's all right.

[Chorus]
 D               A          E        A
'Cause I'm close enough for rock and roll,
D     A          E        A
Close enough for rock and roll,
D     A          E        A
Close enough for rock and roll.
G                      E
I'm close enough for a little rock and roll.

[Verse 2]
D          A            E        A
Yeah, it's true, I don't plan my time.
D           A               E           A
When you're lookin' for me, I'm hard to find.
D          A           E               A 
I know you don't wanna run around with me.
G                                 E
With my socks fallin' down, girl, I'm just poor company.
D              A         E               A
I've seen your face, and it's a one-eyed jack.
D          A          E       A
We like to talk about this or that.
D             A      E               A
None of these things really interest me.
G                            E
Hey, that's all right, girl, that's all right.

[Chorus]
 D               A          E        A
'Cause I'm close enough for rock and roll,
D     A          E        A
Close enough for rock and roll,
D     A          E        A
Close enough for rock and roll.
F#m                     E
I'm close enough for a little rock.

[Bridge]
G                                 E
I know you think I'm a rough cut, baby.
G                        E
I ain't as rough cut as I am the blood on your hands.
N.C.
Gonna love that blood right off of your hands.

[Chorus]
 D               A          E        A
'Cause I'm close enough for rock and roll,
D     A          E        A
Close enough for rock and roll,
D     A          E        A
Close enough for rock and roll.
