            Written by Brian May
Album: Queen, 1973


[Verse 1]

      F
I was told a million times
           Bb             F
Of all the troubles in my way

How to grow a little wiser,
       Bb           F
Little better every day
         C
But if I crossed a million rivers
      Db
And I rode a million miles
         Ab
Then I'd still be where I started
          C
Bread and butter for a smile
       F
Well I sold a million mirrors
     Bb             F
In a shoppin' alley way

But I never saw my face
       Bb         F
In any window any day
          C
Well they say your folks are telling you
   Db
To be a superstar
      Ab
But I tell you just be satisfied
   A7
To stay right where you are

[Chorus]

D             G
Keep yourself alive
D             A
keep yourself alive
      D                 D
It'll take you all your time and a money
D     A         D
Honey you'll survive

[Verse 2]

          F
Well I've loved a million women
     Bb         F
In a belladonic haze

And I ate a million dinners
           Bb           F
Brought to me on silver trays
        C
Give me everything I need
           Db
To feed my body and my soul
         Ab
And I'll grow a little bigger
      C
Maybe that can be my goal
      F
I was told a million times
           Bb           F
Of all the people in my way

How I had to keep on trying
        Bb           F
And get better every day
         C
But if I crossed a million rivers
      Db
And I rode a million miles
         Ab
Then I'd still be where I started
A7
Still be where I started

[Chorus]

D             G     D             A
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
      D                 G              D
It'll take you all your time and money honey
A      D
You'll survive
D             G      D              A
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
      D                 G
It'll take you all your time and money
   D       A    D
To keep me satisfied

[Bridge]

N.C.
Do you think you're better every day
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

[Chorus]

D             G
Keep yourself alive
D             A
Keep yourself alive mm
    D                  G
You take your time and take your money
D        A     D
Keep yourself alive
F             Bb
Keep yourself alive
F             C
Keep yourself alive
F       Bb     F    C         F
All you people keep yourself alive
D             G      D              A
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
      D                 G
It'll take you all your time and money
   D       A    D
To keep me satisfied
D             G
Keep yourself alive
D             A
Keep yourself alive
D       G      D        A     D
All you people keep yourself alive
D
Take you all your time and money honey

You will survive...
