Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I've  been a restless,
 for a long, long time
 Tryin' to find a home
 for this heart  of mine
 The nights  are lonely,
 and the days are long
 It’s hard to find a reason,
 to carry  on
 But all this searchin',
 is it ever  gonna end?
 Must I keep on losin',
 again  and again?
 Tell me, how  long can a man  be strong?
How  long must he carry on,
 without the love  of a woman,
 to call  his own?
 Tell me, how long  can a man  be strong  ?
It’s  on every man’s mind,
 to find that special girl
 Some of them getta lucky
 But I'm alone  in this world
 Still I know  she’s out there somewhere
 so I’m gonna  keep on tryin’
 Someday I’m gonna find her,
 it’s just a matter  of time
 As long as I’ve been waiting,
 I know she’s  been waiting, too
 Hold on a little longer  baby,
 I’m on  my way to you
 Tell me, how  long can a man  be strong?
How  long must he carry on,
 without the love  of a woman,
 to call  his own?
 Tell me, how long  can a man  be strong  ?
 Won't Ya tell me,
How long  can a man  be strong?
 Now ever since  this world began,
 it takes a woman  to make  a man
 And I need  someone!
 Don’t you know I need  someone?  Yeah!
 Ooh but all this searchin’,
 is it ever  gonna end?
 Must I keep on losin’,
 again  and again and again?
 Tell me, how  long can a man  be strong?
How  long must he carry on,
 without the love  of a woman,
 to call  his own?
 Tell me, how long  can a man  be strong  ? Yeah!
(Same as  Chorus) (Finish)
