Verse 1

       F                                Bb            F
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way,
            F           F/A             Bb          F
"Mind you grow a little wiser, little better every day",
            C                            Db
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles,
          Ab                                  C
Then I'd still be where I started, bread and butter for a smile...

Verse 2

        F                           Bb            F
Well I sold a million mirrors in a shop in Alley Way
        F          F/A           Bb        F
But I never saw my face in any window any day.
          C                              Db
Now they say your folks are telling you "be a superstar",
       Ab                             A5
But I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are!

Chorus

 D                 G
Keep yourself alive (yeah)
 D             A5
Keep yourself alive (ooh)
       D       D/C#      Bm       G
It'll take you all your time and money
  A5           D
Honey you'll survive.

Verse 3

           F                          Bb          F
Well I've loved a million women in a belladonnic haze
       F              F/A              Bb             F
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays.
        C                             Db
Give me everything I need to feed my body and my soul,
          Ab                          C
And I'll grow a little bigger, maybe that can be my goal?

Verse 4

       F                               Bb           F
I was told a million times of all the people in my way,
        F                             Bb           F
How I "had to keep on trying and get better every day!",
           C                              Db
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million miles,
          Ab                        A5
Then I'd still be where I started, same as when I started...

Chorus

It'll take you all your time and money

Honey you'll survive. (shake!...ow!)
