Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][Em][Em][G]
[C][C][Em][Em][G]
[C][C][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[C]I spent my time, wat[Em]ching
The spaces that [G]have grown bet[C]ween us
And I cut my mind on [Em]second best
Oh, the scars that [G]come with the [C]greenness
And I gave my eyes to the [Em]boredom
Still, the seabed would[G]n't let me [C]in
And I try my best to embrace [Em]the darkness
In [G]which [C]I s[D]wim

[Verse 2]
[C]Now walking back,
down this [Em]mountain
The strength of a [G]turnin' [C]tide
Oh the wind so soft,
and my [Em]skin
Yeah, the sun so [G]hot upon [C]my side
Oh, lookin' out at this [Em]happiness
I searched for bet[G]ween the [C]sheets
Oh feelin' blind, I [Em]realize
All I was [G]searchin' [C]for, was me
Oh- [Em]oh,
all I was [G]searchin' [C]for was me
[D]Oh yeah

[Chorus 1]
[Em]Keep your head up,
[D]keep your heart str[C]ong
No, no, no, no,
[Em]keep your mindset,
[D]keep your hair lon[C]g
Oh my, my darlin',
[Em]keep your head up,
[D]keep your heart str[C]ong
Na, no, no, no,
[Em]keep your mind set in yo[D]ur ways
Keep your heart [C]strong

[Verse 3]
[C]And I saw a friend of mine
the [Em]other day
And he told me that [G]my eyes were [C]gleamin'
Oh, I said I'd been away,
and he [Em]knew
Oh, he knew the [G]depths I was [C]meanin'
And it felt so good
to [Em]see his face
All the comfort in[G]vested in my [C]soul
Oh, to feel the warmth of his [Em]smile
When he said,
"I'm happy to [G]have you [C]home"
Oh- [Em]oh, I'm happy to h[G]ave you [C]home
[D]Oh yeah

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Keep your head up,
[D]keep your heart str[C]ong
No, no, no, no,
[Em]keep your mindset,
[D]keep your hair long
[C](keep your head up)
Oh my, my darlin',
[Em]keep your head up,
[D]keep your heart str[C]ong
Na, no, no, no,
[Em]keep your mind set in yo[D]ur ways
Keep your heart [C]strong

[Bridge 1]
'Cause I'll [G]always re[D]member you the [C]same
[G]Oh, eyes like wild[D]flowers,
oh with your [C]demons of change
[D](Keep your head up,
keep your heart strong...)
May you find happiness [D]here

[Chorus 3]
May all your hopes all turn out right
[Em](Keep your head up,
[D]keep your heart strong)
[C](Keep your head up...)
No, no, no, no
[Em](Keep your mindset,
[D]keep your hair long)
[C](Keep your head up...)
Oh my, my darlin'
[Em](Keep your head up,
[D]keep your heart str[C]ong)
(No, no, no, no
[Em]keep your mindset in y[D]our ways)
(Keep your heart [C]strong)

[Outro 1]
'Cause I'll [G]always re[D]member you the [C]same
[D]Oh, [G]eyes like wildflo[D]wers
oh with your [C]demons of change
[C][C]
[D][D][D][D]
[D][D][D][D]
