Intro: D F#m G D A 

D                       
I've been a restless,
F#m
  for a long, long time
G
  Tryin' to find a home
         D        A 
for this heart of mine
    D                   
The nights are lonely,
F#m                         
  and the days are long
G
  It?s hard to find a reason,
   Bb         
to carry on
Em                    
  But all this searchin',
      Bm               
is it ever gonna end?
Em               F#m 
  Must I keep on losin',
 G         A
again and again?

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

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

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

Won't Ya tell me,
D   G          Em     D 
How long can a man be strong? 

Em         F#m                Bm 
  Now ever since this world began,
Em           F#m       Bm    
  it takes a woman to make a man
      Em       F#m
And I need someone!
                 G        A 
Don?t you know I need someone? Yeah!

  Must I keep on losin?,
 G                   A
again and again and again?

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