Keep Your Head Up

 
           C              F 
It was the 36th time that he broke my heart 
           C              Dm          G 
It was the 80th time that I'd fallen apart 
           C              F 
I knew from the start it was gonna be rough 
    G                 C 
But not as painful as this 



E 
Once I didn't have money 
A 
Twice I forgot his name 
C 
Then I put on my make-up wrong 
   Dm                      G 
My hair was a big mess and so was my dress 
C 
I remember those nights 
      F                            G 
I was feeling real down but then a chance would soon come aro-und 


           C              F 
It was the 36th time that he broke my heart 
           C              Dm          G 
It was the 80th time that I'd fallen apart 
           C              F 
I knew from the start it was gonna be rough 
    G                 C 
But not as painful as this 


E 
Once he asked for my number 
A 
Twice he asked for my name 
C 
But I was nervous and lost my mind 
   Dm                      G 
I gave him a number but it was my Mom's 
C 
I remember those nights 
F                            G                            C 
I was feeling real down but then a chance would soon come around 

B 
Got to move on 
Db 
I don't know 
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know 
E 
Gotta move on but I don't think I can carry on, no 
D                     F 
I couldn't go on, no, I couldn't go on 
D                      F 
It seemed like my life was falling apart 

(Whispered) 
C                        F 
It was the 36th time that he broke my heart 
 C            Ab 
Or was it 37 or 38? 

G 
I remember way back 
C 
When my life was laid back 
F                        Dm 
No obligations or responsibilities 
G              Eb       C              Ab 
Didn't have to work or, didn't have no chores 
A            G               D                G 
Only thing I had in mind was looking good each day 
A 
Then my life was rolling 
D                Bb 
Had to work each morning 
B                A 
Pay the bills and walk the dog 
E               A 
Became my daily life 


 
A 
But the more you suffer 
F 
You feel better when it's over 
E          C 
That's for sure 

C 
And so when pain comes along 
F 
Just go with the flow 
C 
Don't turn your back to your problems 
              F 
Just give it a go 
C 
Your troubles in life 
F 
Will eventually serve you 
G                           C 
As a drop of spice in your li-fe 


   D                      G

   D                      E 
It was the 80th time that I'd fallen apart 
     D                      G 
I knew from the start it was gonna be rough 
    A               D 
But not as painful as this 


E 
When pain comes along 
A 
Just go with the flow

Your troubles in life
