Chords for Benjamin Tod, "What Keeps Me Up Now" // GemsOnVHS™

We're in Muhlenberg County, _ Kentucky, _ _ _ _ in the old cow barn that's fallen to pieces. _ _ _
_ _ _ Hopefully it doesn't catch on fire like the horse barn today.
_ _ [Bm] It's very windy.
_ _ [G] _ This tune is called _
What Keeps Me Up Now. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Do I have [C] what it takes _ [E] to make it [G] somehow? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
What if I fall on my face [D] in front [G] of the crowd? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Don't my [Em] mistakes are [D]
reflected in shapes [G] that appear like a cell full of [Em] shroud? _ _
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[D] And as I recede in the charm of my [G] grief, [C] I am bound. _
_ [E] _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ What keeps me [G] up now? _ _ _
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ And [C] let nightmares control [Em] you [D] and daylight _ expose [G] you when the blood in [F#] your head
[G] starts [Em] to pound. _ _ _
[A] _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] It's twenty till three _ and you've got a cliff to [C] climb down.
[E] _
[Em] _ _ [D] _ _ What keeps me up [G] now?
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ Remember the time _ [C] you first [G] _
called me out? _ _ _
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] I laughed to pretend not to know what [D] came [G] out of your mouth. _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _
But [C] it clung on [Em] my brain like [D] a fresh coat of paint [G] and I fled on a train headed [Em] south. _ _
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] And in New _ Orleans, _
I wiped my [C] mind on the town. _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ What keeps [G] me up now? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And let [C] _
nightmares control [Em] you [D] and daylight expose you [G] when the blood in [Bm] your head
starts [Em] to pound. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ It's [D] twenty till three _ and you've got a cliff to [C] climb [Em] down. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ What keeps [G] me up now?
_ _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
And I use the dope to [C]
escape [E] where I couldn't [G] be found.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] And I burned through all petty cash [D] and [G] bank _ accounts _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ [C] with nothing [Em]
else
but [D] a guitar in belt.
[G]
I hawked it and swore off [Em] the sound.
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [D] The belt was a noose _ when I came to [G] [C] upon the ground.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _
What keeps me [G] up now? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [C] let nightmares _ [Em] control you [D] and daylight expose you [G] when the blood in your [D] head
[Em] starts to pound.
_ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] It's twenty till three _ and you've got a cliff to [C] climb down.
[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ What keeps me up now?
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ A gust of wind came [Fm] from the south blowing north and just caught that barn on fire.
We tried for like 20 minutes to put it out.
Then the roof caught fire and I was like, well, _ I _ can't fight a fire that [N] high. _
