[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
