Verse 1:

E B
Day after day I'm more confused
E F# B
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
E B
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
C#m E
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Chorus:

B
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
F#/A# E/G#
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
B
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
F# E
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro]

Bridge:

C#m
And when my mind is free
E B
You know a melody can move me
C#m
And when I'm feelin' blue
E F#
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
E B
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
E F# B
I want you to know I believe in your song
E B
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
C#m E
You help me along makin' me strong

[repeat chorus to fade - acappella first couple times]
