D                           A
  Day after day I'm more confused

 Yet I look for the light

Through the pourin' rain

  You know that's a game that I hate to lose
Bm
 And I'm feeling the pain
D
  Taking the strain

   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away

 I don't understand the things I do
D                              A
  The world outside is so unkind
Bm
  I'm counting on you
D
  To carry me through


Chorus:
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll

   And when my mind is free

  You know a melody can move me
Bm
   And when I'm feeling blue
D                                 E
  The guitars coming through will soothe me
