Section Instruments Bars Lyrics & Chords

intro Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums, Bell 1-21

Verse Guitar, Voice, Drums, Bass 21-33 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

But if I crossed a million rivers

Db

And I rode a million miles

Ab

Then I'd still be where I started

Bread and butter for a smile

Well I sold a million mirrors

Bb F

In a shoppin' alley way

But I never saw my face

Bb F
 In any window any day

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

Verse Guitar, Voice, Drums, Bass 56-68 F

Well I've loved a million women

Bb F

In a belladonic haze

And I ate a million dinners

Bb F

Brought to me on silver trays

Give me everything I need

Db

To feed my body and my soul

Ab

And I'll grow a little bigger

 C

Maybe that can be my goal

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

But if I crossed a million rivers

Db

And I rode a million miles

Ab

Then I'd still be where I started

A7

Still be where I started
