  			G             D        C     D  G 
How many times must I get up 
                D              C    D  G 
Look out and see the same old view 
              D        C 
How many times must I wear the same old things 
     D                  C           Am       D  G 
And hear the same old things that I do, I do 
              D         C                     D  G 
How many times must I clean this face my face 
                  D         C                     D  G 
And how many times must I shine my shoes, oh Lord 
              D         C 
How many times must I drink the same old drink 
      D                  C           Am 
And dream the same old dreams that I do 
 
 D      G      D            C 
Because I, I know one thing 
  D          G                      D         C 
There ain't nothing that could ever ease the pain 
 D       G    D        C    G D 
But for your line and mine 
             C      Am    D    G 
I want that loving again,    again 

How many times must I pass your place. your place 
And how many times must I follow you, you 
How many times must I see the same old things 
When all I should be seeing is you
