Lyrics

Intro

    | F . Am . | . . . . |
    | F . C  . | . . . . |
    | F . Am . | G . C . | . . . . |


Verse

           F                 Am           F                C 
    She'll lie and steal and cheat... and beg you from her knees
    F                 Am    G       C 
    Make you feel she needs it this time
           F               Am         F               C 
    She'll tear a whole in you... the one you can't repair
        F                Am      G    C 
    But I still love her I don't even care


Pre-Chorus

        F            C        Am       G 
        When we were young... oh------ we did enough
        F           C         Am       G   
        When it got cold..... oooo---- we bundled up
        F          C          Am       G                 C 
        I can't be told...... ahhhh--- it can't be done

         F         Am                F          C 
    It's better to feel pain... than nothing at all
        F           Am        G     C 
    The opposite of love is indifference
       F             Am         F                C 
    So pay attention now... I'm standing on your porch screaming out
        F             Am        G        C 
    And I won't leave until you come downstairs


Chorus

                         F    C               G     Am 
            So keep your head up... keep your love
                      F    C           G     Am 
            Keep your head up...... my love
                      F    C           G     Am 
            Keep your head up...... my love
                         F    C               G     Am 
            So keep your head up... keep your love

        F                 Am          F                C 
    And I don't blame you dear... for running like you did all these years
    F              Am       G      C 
    I would do the same you best believe
        F                       Am           F                  C 
    The highway signs say we're close... but I don't read those things anymore
      F             Am G        C 
    I never trusted my own eyes

        F            C        Am       G 
        When we were young... oh------ we did enough
        F           C         Am       G   
        When it got cold..... oooo---- we bundled up
        F          C          Am       G                 C 
        I can't be told...... ahhhh--- it can't be done
		
                         F    C               G     Am 
            So keep your head up... keep your love
                      F    C           G     Am 
            Keep your head up...... my love
                      F    C           G     Am 
            Keep your head up...... my love
                         F    C               G     Am 
            So keep your head up... keep your love

About

My name is David Potsiadlo, and I created Songnotes to share my collection of guitar tabs, chords, and lyrics for my favorite songs.

Since I started playing guitar over 10 years ago, I've often been frustrated by the preponderance of mediocre and incomplete song tabs littered across the internet. To combat this, I started keeping my own collection of notes for each song I learn -- always taking the extra time to make sure accuracy and completeness are never compromised. Years later, my collection grew to the point where I knew I had to share it online with fellow aspiring musicians.

In December 2012, I began designing & developing a website that became Songnotes. Here, I share my personal collection of hand-crafted music notation with all those online. I hope you enjoy.
