   FF
I was told a million times
      A#A#       FF
Of all the troubles in my way
How to grow a little wiser,

Little better evry day

But if I crossed a million rivers
   C#C#
And I rode a million miles

Then Id still be where I started

Bread and butter for a smile
    FF
Well I sold a million mirrors
   A#A#       FF
In a shoppin' alley way
But I never saw my face
    A#A#     FF
In any window any day

To be a super star

Well Ive loved a million women
   A#A#     FF
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
