(Verse1)
I was [F]told a million times
Of all the [A#]troubles in my [F]way
How to grow a little wiser,
Little [A#]better every [F]day
But if I [C]crossed a million rivers
And I [C#]rode a million miles
Then I'd [G#]still be where I started
Bread and [C]butter for a smile
Well I [F]sold a million mirrors
In a [A#]shoppin' alley [F]way
But I never saw my face
In any [A#]window any [F]day
Well they [C]say your folks are telling you
To [C#]be a superstar
But I [G#]tell you just be satisfied
To [A7]stay right where you are
(Chorus)
[D]Keep yourself alive [D]keep yourself [A]alive
It'll [D]take you [F#]all your [Bm]time and a [G]money
[A]Honey you'll [D]survive
(Verse2)
Well I've [F]loved a million women
In a [A#]belladonic [F]haze
And I [F]ate a million dinners
Brought to [A#]me on silver [F]trays
Give me [C]evrything I need
To feed my [C#]body and my soul
And I'll [G#]grow a little bigger
Maybe [C]that can be my goal
I was [F]told a million times
Of all the [A#]people in my [F]way
How I [F]had to keep on trying
And get [A#]better every [F]day
But if I [C]crossed a million rivers
And I [C#]rode a million miles
Then I'd [G#]still be where I started
[A7]Still be where I started
(Chorus)
[D]Keep yourself alive [D]keep yourself [A]alive
It'll [D]take you [F#]all your [Bm]time and a [G]money
[A]Honey you'll [D]survive
[D]Keep yourself alive [D]keep yourself [A]alive
It'll [D]take you [F#]all your [Bm]time and a [G]money
To [A]keep me [D]satisfied
(Bridge)
N.C.
Do you think you're better every day
No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
(Chorus)
[D]Keep yourself alive [D]keep yourself [A]alive
It'll [D]take you [F#]all your [Bm]time and a [G]money
To [A]keep me [D]satisfied
[B]Keep yourself [E]alive
[B]Keep yourself [F#]alive
[B]All [D#]you [G#m] [E]people [F#]keep yourself [B]alive
