tone gốc: [Am]
(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
