[D] [Bm] [F#m]
[G] [D] [A] [D]
I've been restless [F#m] for a long, long [G] time
Trying to find a home [D] for this [A] heart of [D] mine
Nights are lonely [F#m] and the days are [Bm] long
[G] It's hard to find a reason [A#] to carry on
[Em] But all this searching, [Bm] is it ever gonna end?
[Em] [F#m] Must I keep on losing [G] [A] again and [D] again?
Tell me how [G] can a [A] man be strong?
[D] How long [G] must he [A] carry on
[G] Without the [D] love of a woman [Bm] to [G] call his own?
[D] Tell me [G] how long [D] can a man be strong?
It's on every man's [F#m] mind to find that special [G] girl
Some of them get lucky, [D] but I'm [A] alone in this world
[D] Still I know she's out there somewhere
[F#m] So I'm gonna keep on trying
[G] Someday I'm gonna find her
[A#] It's just a matter of time
[Em] As long as I've been waiting
[Bm] I know she's been waiting too
[G] [F#m] I'll hold on a little longer [G] baby
I'm [A] on my way to [D] you
Tell me how long [G] can a [A] man be strong?
[D] How long [G] must he [A] carry on
[G] Without the [D] love of a woman [Bm] to [G] call his own?
[D] Tell me [G] how [D] long can a man be strong?
Won't you tell me [G] how long can a [D] man be strong?
[Em] [F#m] Now ever since this [Bm] world began
[Em] It [F#m] takes a woman [Bm] to make a man
[G] And I need someone
[A] Don't you know I need someone
[D]
But [F#m]
[G] [D] [A]
[D] [F#m]
[G] [A#]
[Em] all this searching, [Bm] is it ever gonna end?

[D] Tell me how long [G] can a [A] man be strong?
[D] How long [G] must he [A] carry on
[G] Without the [D] love of a woman [Bm] to [G] call his own?
