[Verse 1]
      F                               Bb             F
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
         F
Mind you grow a little wiser,
       Bb              F
little better every day
         C                                  Db
But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode  a million
miles
         Ab
Then I'd still be where I started,
          C
bread and butter for a smile
       F                           Bb               F
Well I sold a million mirrors in a shop in Alley Way
      F                        Bb            F
But I never saw my face in any window any day
         C
Now they say your folks are telling you,
Db
"be a superstar"
      Ab                             A
But I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you
are

[Chorus]
    D
Keep yourself alive
    G
Yeah
D                  A
Keep yourself alive
Ooh,
      D5       F#5      B5            G5
it'll take you all your time and your money
    A                    D
But honey, you'll survive

[Interlude]
A   C D
 Ow!

[Verse 2]
F          F                          Bb              F
 Well I've loved a million women in a belladonnic haze
      F                                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
And I'll grow a little bigger,
      C
maybe that can be my goal
      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
But if I crossed a million rivers,
          Db
and I rode  a million miles
         Ab
Then I'd still be where I started,
A
same as when I started

[Chorus]
D
Keep yourself alive
     G
Come on!
D                  A
Keep yourself alive
Ooh,
      D5       F#5      B5            G5
it'll take you all your time and your money
    A                    D
But honey, you'll survive

I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
