I was told a million times
	    Bb             F
Of all the troubles in my way
         F7   
Tried to grow a little wiser
        Bb           F
Little better ev'ry day
          C
But if I crossed a million rivers
       C#
And I rode a million miles
          G#
Then I'd still be where I started
          C7
Bread and butter for a smile
        F7
Well I sold a million mirrors
      Bb           F
In a shop in Alley Way
      F7        
But I never saw my face
        Bb         F
In any window any day
          C
Well they say your folks are telling you
   C#
To be a superstar

But I tell you just be satisfied

To stay right where you are

Honey you'll survive

          F7
Well I've loved a million women
      Bb         F
In a belladonic haze
      F7
And I ate a million dinners
           Bb            F
Brought to me on silver trays
        C
Give me ev'rything I need
           C#
To feed my body and my soul
          G#
And I'll grow a little bigger
       C7
Maybe that can be my goal
      F7
I was told a million times
           Bb            F
Of all the people in my way
      F7
How I had to keep on trying
        Bb            F
And get better ev'ry day
           C
But if I crossed a million rivers
       C#
And I rode a million miles

Then I'd still be where I started
