Keep Your Head Up


Ben Howard - Keep Your Head Up (From Every Kingdom Album) Standard Tuning Verse 1 C Em7 I spent my time, watching G G/f# The spaces that have grown between us. C Em7 And I cut my mind on second best, G G/f# Oh the scars that come with the greenness. C Em7 And I gave my eyes to the boredom, G G/f# Still the seabed wouldn't let me in. C Em7 And I try my best to embrace the darkness G C In which I swim. C Em7 Now walking back, down this mountain, G G/f# The strength of a turnin' tide. C Em7 Oh the wind so soft, and my skin, G G/f# Yeah the sun so hot upon my side. C Em7 Oh lookin' out at this happiness G G/f# I searched for between the sheets, C Em7 Oh feelin' blind, I realize, G G/f# C All I was searchin' for... was me. Em7 G G/F' C Oh oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me. D Oh yeah Em7 D C keep your head up, keep your heart strong no, no, no, no, Em7 D C keep your mind set, keep your hair long Oh my, my darlin'. Em7 D C keep your head up, keep your heart strong Na, oh, no, no. Em7 D C keep your mind set in your ways.... Keep your heart strong. VERSE 2 (same as verse 1) Now I saw a friend of mine, the other day, And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'. Oh I said I'd been away, and he knew... Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'. And it felt so good to see his face, All the comfort invested in my soul, Oh to feel the warmth, of his smile, When he said, 'I'm happy to have you home.' Oh oh-oh, I'm happy to have you home. CHORUS (same as above) BRIDGE Em7 D C 'Cause I'll always remember you the same. Em7 D C Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh with your demons of change. D C Ohhh May you find happiness here. D C Ohhh May all your hopes all turn out right. CHORUS X 2 BRIDGE
