[Verse]
F                         C     
Day after day I'm more confused,
F                                       C    
yet I look for the light in the pouring rain.

You know it's a game I hate to lose,
Dm                          F                
now I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame?

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul,
  G

I'm beginning to think I'm wastin' time,
F                                 C
I don't understand the things I do.
F                              C  
The world outside looks so unkind,
Dm                        F              
I'm counting on you, to carry me through.

Dm                       
And when my mind is free,
F                 C         
you know melody can move me.
Dm                        
And when I'm feeling blue,
F                                
the guitars are coming through to
G         
soothe me.

I want you to know I believe in your song.

You help me along, making me strong.
