[Verse 1]
             
Day after day 

            
I'm more confu

sed
             
Yet I look for

              
 the light thr

              
ough the pouri

   
n' rain
             
You know that'

              
s a game that 

          
I hate to lose

And I'm feelin

g the strain

Ain't it a sha

me

[Chorus]

Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul

I want to get 

lost in your r

ock and roll
    
And drift away

Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul

I want to get 

lost in your r

ock and roll
    
And drift away

[Verse 2]
             
Beginning to t

              
hink that I'm 

        
wasting time
             
I don't unders

              
tand the thing

    
s I do
             
The world outs

             
ide looks so u

nkind

Now I'm counti

ng on you

To carry me th

rough

[Chorus]

Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul

I want to get 

lost in your r

ock and roll

And drift away

Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul

I want to get 

lost in your r

ock and roll
    
And drift away

[Bridge]

And when my mi

nd is free
             
You know a mel

           
ody can move m

e

And when I'm f

eeling blue
             
The guitar's c

              
oming through 

         
to soothe me

[Verse 3]
             
Thanks for the

              
 joy that you'

I want you to

Oh, give me th

And drift away

Oh, give me th
