Day after day I'm more confused

Yet I look for the light

Through the pourin' rain
D A
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
Bm
And I'm feeling the pain
D
Taking the strain
[Chorus]
A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
D
And drift away
A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
D
And drift away
