F                            C 
  Day after day I'm more confused  
F                    G                          C 
  Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain  
F                                       C 
  You know that's a game that I hate to lose  
Dm 
  And I'm feelin' the strain 
F 
  Aw, ain't it a shame
[Refrain]

I want to get lost in your rock and roll  
    F 
And drift away  
    C 
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul  
   G 
I want to get lost in your rock and roll  
    F 
And drift away

  Beginnin' to think that I'm wasting time  
F                G               C 
  I don't understand the things I do  
F                               C 
  The world outside looks so unkind

  And I'm counting on you

Dm 
   And when my mind is free 
F                         C 
    You know a melody can move me  
Dm 
    When I'm feeling blue  
F                                    G 
    The guitar's coming through to soothe me
