Verse 1
F5
I was told a million times
Bb5 F5
Of all the troubles in my way
How I had to grow a little wiser
Little better ev'ry day
C5
But if I crossed a million rivers
Db
And I rode a million miles
Ab5
Then I'd still be where I started
C5
Bread and butter for a smile
F5
Well I sold a million mirrors
Bb5 F5
In a shop in alleyway
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
C5
Well they say your folks are telling you
Db5
To be a super star
Ab5
But I tell you just be satisfied
A5
To stay right where you are
Chorus
D5 G5
Keep yourself alive, yeah
D5 A5

Verse 2
F5
Well I've loved a million women
Bb5 F5
In a Belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays
C5
Give me everything I need
Db5
To feed my body and my soul
Ab5
And I'll grow a little bigger
C5
Maybe that can be my goal
F5
I was told a million times
Bb5 F5
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better ev'ry day
C5
But if I crossed a million rivers
Db5
And I rode a million miles
Ab5
Then I'd still be where I started
A
Same as where I started
