TITLE: Keep Yourself Alive
Lyrics and Chords
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Tried to grow a little wiser, little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, bread and butter for a smile
/ F7 - Bb F / / C - Db - / Ab - C7 - /
Well I sold a million mirrors in a shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Well now, they say your folks are telling you to be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied to stay right where you are
/ " / " / " / Ab - A - /
{Refrain}
Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive
/ D - / - A7 / DF#m BmG / A7 D /
Well I've loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me ev'rything I need to feed my body and my soul
Well I'll grow a little bigger, maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying and get better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, same as when I started
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think you're better ev'ry day
No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
/ E7 - - - / /
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive, mm
You take your time and take my money
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
/ F - / - C7 / FAm DmBb C7 F /
Keep yourself alive, come on, come on
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
To keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money honey
You will survive
/ B - / - F#7 / BEbm G#mE F#7 B / B - - - / /
