Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

	     
	Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
	  /                                     
	I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
	     
	Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
	                                          
	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:

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

[repeat chorus to fade - acappella first couple times]
