[B][F#][B][F#]
[B][F#]

[Verse 1]
Take [F#]off[B][E][A][D]
I was told a million times
Of all [G]the troubles in my [D]way
Mind you grow a little wiser
Little [G]better every day
[D]But if I c[A]rossed a million rivers
And [Bb]I rode a million miles
Then I'd [F]still be where I started
Bread and [A]butter for a smile
Well I [D]sold a million mirrors
In a shop[G]ping alley way
[D]But I never saw my face
In any [G]window any [D]day
Now they [A]say your folks are telling you
[Bb]Be a super star
But I [F]tell you just be satisfied
[F#]Stay right where you are

[Verse 2]
[B]Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself [F#]alive
Ooh, it'll [B]take you all your
[G#]time and [E]money
[F#]Honey you'll sur[B]vive[F#][B][F#]

[Interlude 1]
Ow
[F#][B][D]

[Verse 3]
Well I've [D]loved a million women
In [G]a bell[D]adonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to [G]me on silver trays
[D]Give me [A]everything I need
To feed my [Bb]body and my soul
And I'll [F]grow a little bigger
Maybe [A]that can be my goal
I was [D]told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get [G]better every [D]day
But if [A]I crossed a million rivers
And [Bb]I rode a million miles
Then I'd [F]still be where I started
[F#]Same as when I started

[Verse 4]
[B]Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself [F#]alive
Ooh, it'll [B]take you [G#]all your time
and [E]money [F#]honey
You'll sur[B]vive,
[B5]shake
