Intro:
A
Verse 1:
A
Dollar-fifty N/A beers at CBGB's
D
I don't know who you're with
But I know I'm not there
F#m
Sleeping bag rolled out on a backroom mattress
D
Laid out on the floor doom-scrolling til dawn
Chorus:
F#m
I'm keeping the faith
D
Everything will be okay
A
If I draw the curtains tight
D
And I sleep through the day
F#m
I'm keeping the faith
D
Everything will turn out great
A D
If I can just keep my wheels steering straight
Verse 2:
A
Sure as shit some kind of crossroads
That's just obvious
D
Is the ship coming in
Or is it slowly sailing away?
F#m
Living life a vampire
And my hands are covered in stigmata
D
Board up all the windows with a drill and a hammer
Chorus:
F#m
I'm keeping the faith
D
Everything will be okay
A
If I black out all the curtains
D
And I sleep through the day
F#m
I'm keeping the faith
D
Everything will turn out great
A D
If I can just keep my wheels steering straight
Bridge:
A
I want the feel those songs give to me
Like "Angeles", "Needle in the Hay"
D
I want it to come from you
I want you to sing it for me
F#m
Oh my demon, my daemon, my darling friend
D
These centuries burn like summer days
Chorus/Outro:
F#m
I'm keeping the faith
D
Just like Bon Jovi
A
Disappear a decade
D
And come back in a day
F#m
Keeping the faith
D
Everything will be okay
A
I'll just kick out all the windows
D
When it's time to leave
F#m
Keeping the faith
D
Everything will turn out great
F#m
Keeping the faith
D
Everything will be okay
A
If I can just keep my wheels straight
