[Verse]

             
 Day after day

             
 I'm more conf

used,
             
 yet I look fo

              
r the light in

             
 the pouring r

ain.
             
 You know it's

              
 a game I hate

   
 to lose,
            
 now I'm feeli

              
n' the strain,

 
 ain't it a sh

ame?


[Chorus]

    
Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul,
  
I wanna get lo

st in your Roc

k-n-Roll and
   
drift away.
    
Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul,
  
I wanna get lo

st in your Roc

[Verse]

             
 I'm beginning

              
 to think I'm 

    
wastin' time,
             
 I don't under

              
stand the thin

       
gs I do.
             
 The world out

              
side looks so 

    
unkind,
            
 I'm counting 

             
on you, to car

ry me through.


[Chorus]

    
Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul,
  
I wanna get lo

st in your Roc

k-n-Roll and
   
drift away.
     
Yeah, give me 

the beat, boys

, and free my 

soul,
  
I wanna get lo

st in your Roc

k-n-Roll and
   
drift away.
