[C#] Day after day I'm more con-[G#]-fused

[C#] Beginning to think that I'm wastin' [G#] time

BRIDGE:
[A#m] And when my mind is free
[C#] You know a melody can [G#] move me
[A#m] And when I'm feelin' blue
[C#] The guitar's comin' through to [D#] soothe me

[C#] Thanks for the joy that you've given [G#] me
[C#] I want you to [D#] know I believe in your [G#] song

[A#m] You help me along [C#] makin' me strong
