Intro: D5 F#5 G5 D5 A5 

D5                       
I've been a restless,
F#5
  for a long, long time
G5
  Tryin' to find a home
         D5        A5 
for this heart of mine
    D5                   
The nights are lonely,
F#5                         
  and the days are long
G5
  It?s hard to find a reason,
   Bb5         
to carry on
E5                    
  But all this searchin',
      B5               
is it ever gonna end?
E5               F#5 
  Must I keep on losin',
 G5         A5
again and again?

         D5              G5      A5
Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
D5                G5     A5
How long must he carry on,
            G5         D5
without the love of a woman,
   B5       E5
to call his own?
         D5   G5          E5     D5 
Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?

D5                          
It?s on every man?s mind,
F#5                           
  to find that special girl
G5
  Some of them getta lucky
         D5            A5 
But I'm alone in this world
        D5                
Still I know she?s out there somewhere
       F#5                  
so I?m gonna keep on tryin?
G5
  Someday I?m gonna find her,
            Bb5               
it?s just a matter of time
E5          
  As long as I?ve been waiting,
       B5
I know she?s been waiting, too
E5                 F#5
  Hold on a little longer baby,
    G5            A5   
I?m on my way to you

         D5              G5      A5
Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
D5                G5     A5
How long must he carry on,
            G5         D5
without the love of a woman,
   B5       E5
to call his own?
         D5   G5          E5     D5 
Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?

Won't Ya tell me,
D5   G5          E5     D5 
How long can a man be strong? 

E5         F#5                B5 
  Now ever since this world began,
E5           F#5       B5    
  it takes a woman to make a man
      E5       F#5
And I need someone!
                 G5        A5 
Don?t you know I need someone? Yeah!

E5
  Ooh but all this searchin?,
      B5
is it ever gonna end?
E5               F#5 
  Must I keep on losin?,
 G5                   A5
again and again and again?

         D5              G5      A5
Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
D5                G5     A5
How long must he carry on,
            G5         D5
without the love of a woman,
   B5       E5
to call his own?
