Verse:
F
I was told a million times
Bb F
Of all the troubles in my way
How to grow a little wiser,
Bb F
Little better every day
C
But if I crossed a million rivers
Db
And I rode a million miles
Ab
Then Iʼd still be where I started
C
Bread and butter for a smile
F
Well I sold a million mirrors
Bb F
In a shoppinʼ alley way
But I never saw my face
Bb F
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
Chorus:
D G
Keep yourself alive
D A

D D
Itʼll take you all your time and a money
D A D
Honey youʼll survive
Verse:
F
Well Iʼve loved a million women
Bb F
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Bb F
Brought to me on silver trays
C
Give me everything I need
Db
To feed my body and my soul
Ab
And Iʼll grow a little bigger
C
Maybe that can be my goal
F
I was told a million times
Bb F
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
Bb F
And get better every day
C
But if I crossed a million rivers
Db
And I rode a million miles
Ab
Then Iʼd still be where I started
A7
Still be where I started
