No Capo, Standard Tuning, 3/4 time

Intro:
G

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

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

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

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

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

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