I was t^Fold a million times of all the tr^Bboubles in my w^Fay, "Mind you gr^Fow a little ^F/Awiser, little be^Bbtter every d^Fay", But if I cro^Cssed a million rivers and I r^Dbode a million miles, Then I'd s^Abtill be where I started, bread and b^Cutter for a smile...

[Verse 2]

Well I s^Fold a million mirrors in a s^Bbhop in Alley W^Fay But I ne^Fver saw my ^F/Aface in any wi^Bbndow any d^Fay. Now they s^Cay your folks are telling you "^Dbbe a superstar", But I t^Abell you just be satisfied and s^A5tay right where you are!

[Verse 4]

I was t^Fold a million times of all the p^Bbeople in my w^Fay, How I "h^Fad to keep on trying and get b^Bbetter every d^Fay!", But if I cr^Cossed a million rivers, and I r^Dbode a million miles, Then I'd s^Abtill be where I started, s^A5ame as when I started...
