F I was told a million times
BbF Of all the troubles in my way
 How to grow a little wiser, 
BbF Little better every day
C But if I crossed a million rivers
Db And I rode a million miles
Ab Then I'd still be where I started
C Bread and butter for a smile
F Well I sold a million mirrors
BbF In a shoppin' alley way
 But I never saw my face 
BbF In any window any day
C Well they say your folks are telling you
Db To be a superstar
Ab But I tell you just be satisfied
A7 To stay right where you are
DG Keep yourself alive
DA keep yourself alive
DD It'll take you all your time and a money
DAD Honey you'll survive
F Well I've loved a million women
BbF In a belladonic haze
 And I ate a million dinners 
BbF Brought to me on silver trays
C Give me everything I need
Db To feed my body and my soul
Ab And I'll grow a little bigger
C Maybe that can be my goal
F I was told a million times
BbF Of all the people in my way
 How I had to keep on trying 
BbF And get better every day
C But if I crossed a million rivers
Db And I rode a million miles
Ab Then I'd still be where I started
A7 Still be where I started
