Verse:
G
I was told a million times
C G
Of all the troubles in my way
How to grow a little wiser,
C G
Little better every day
D
But if I crossed a million rivers
Eb
And I rode a million miles
Bb
Then Iʼd still be where I started
D
Bread and butter for a smile
G
Well I sold a million mirrors
C G
In a shoppinʼ alley way
But I never saw my face
C G
In any window any day
D
Well they say your folks are telling you
Eb
To be a superstar
Bb
But I tell you just be satisfied
B7
To stay right where you are
Chorus:
E A
Keep yourself alive
E B

E E
Itʼll take you all your time and a money
E B E
Honey youʼll survive
Verse:
G
Well Iʼve loved a million women
C G
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
C G
Brought to me on silver trays
D
Give me everything I need
Eb
To feed my body and my soul
Bb
And Iʼll grow a little bigger
D
Maybe that can be my goal
G
I was told a million times
C G
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying

And get better every day

But if I crossed a million rivers
Eb
And I rode a million miles

Then Iʼd still be where I started

Still be where I started
