Verse 1:
F                           Gm 
Ever had a feeling that you can't go on? 
       A#                       F 
Trying to be strong but getting weaker 
                             Gm 
Carrying the weight of every single day 
        A#                      F 
Haven't lost your way, feeling defeated 
   
Pre-Chorus
C             A#              Am              Gm 
 Sat staring, counting spiral patterns on the wall 
C           A#              Am         Gm 
 You wonder if your luck is ever gonna turn around, but oh

You got to keep your head up high

You got to keep your head up high 
                             F 
You got to keep your head up high  

  
Verse 2:
F                                Gm 
Your bedroom carpet stained with rose wine 
        A#                       F 
Empty's left behind, the morning after 
                            Gm 
The distant purr of cars on soaking roads 
        A#                         F 
And the street echoes the noise of laughter 
  
Pre-Chorus
C           A#             Am               Gm 
 The bottom of the bottle, finds you almost every night 
C           A#              Am         Gm 
 You wonder if your life is ever gonna turn out right again

Bridge:
C             A#              Am            Gm 
 Confused and battered by the motion of the changing tides 
C               A#               Am            Gm 
 You're nearing empty and you've barely got the will to fight 
C           A#              Am             Gm 
 You wonder if you're gonna live or if you will survive 
  
Ohhh
