Intro:
G+G

Verse 1:
G+G         C majorC        G+G
Do I have what it takes to make it somehow
E minorEm          D MajorD          G+G
What if I fall on my face in front of the crowd
  C majorC          D MajorD
And all my mistakes are reflected it shapes
   G+G       G/F#     E minorEm   E minor 7Em7
That appear like a self-loathing shroud
  D MajorD                     C majorC
And as I recede in the charm of my grief I am bound
D MajorD        G+G
What keeps me up now

Chorus:
    C majorC             D MajorD
And let nightmares control you and daylight expose you
     G+G       G/F#      E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
When the blood in your head starts to pound
  D MajorD                    C majorC
Its 20 til 3 and you've got a cliff to climb down
D MajorD        G+G
What keeps me up now

Verse 2:
 G+G        C majorC          G+G
Remember the time you first called me out
 E minorEm                    D MajorD      G+G
I laughed to pretend not to know what came out of your mouth
    C majorC            D MajorD
But it clung on my brain like a fresh coat of paint
   G+G     G/F#     E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
And I fled on a train headed south
    D MajorD                 C majorC
And in New Orleans I wiped my mind on the town
D MajorD        G+G
What keeps me up now

Chorus:
    C majorC             D MajorD
And let nightmares control you and daylight expose you
     G+G       G/F#      E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
When the blood in your head starts to pound
  D MajorD                    C majorC
Its 20 til 3 and you've got a cliff to climb down
D MajorD        G+G
What keeps me up now

Verse 3:
  G+G          C majorC            G+G
And I used the dope to escape where I couldn't be found
   E minorEm                D MajorD   G+G
And I burnt through all petty cash and bank accounts
  C majorC            D MajorD
And with nothing else but a guitar and belt
 G+G       G/F#     E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
I hocked it and swore off the sound
  D MajorD                   C majorC
The belt was a noose when I came to on the ground
D MajorD        G+G
What keeps me up now

Chorus:
    C majorC             D MajorD
And let nightmares control you and daylight expose you
     G+G       G/F#      E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
When the blood in your head starts to pound
  D MajorD                    C majorC
Its 20 til 3 and you've got a cliff to climb down
D MajorD        G+G
What keeps me up now
