 D
How many years keep on slipping away
        G               F6           E7
And it seems that your life doesn't matter
     Dm
You never had a chance

How many ways is a love torn apart
And you look to your heart for some answers
Don't let it slip away

   G7
I can't blame myself anymore,
           A#9                     B7 A7 G#7
I've been beaten and accused before
        G7
Well I took some bad advice,
                          G7 G#7 A7
and I paid too high a price
B9
I could sell my soul, you know
   A7
I wouldn't think twice

Chorus:
Dm        F           Am        A#
How many times must a man fall down
        Dm     F       Am      A#
I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-ohoo
Dm         F             Am           A#
How many dreams have to fall to the ground
        G7/B             C#+
It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on, yeah

How many times do you look for some sign
That there's hope, and your life has some meaning
Almost every day, hey, hey

Maybe I was born to wander,
I got no high hopes any longer
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
Is nothin' ever gonna free me
from this hell I'm livin' in

Chorus

Can't blame myself anymore,
I've been beaten and accused before
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
I'm sick and tired of livin' in
a rat race that no one ever wins

Chorus - x2
