[Verse 1]
C
I got a friend named Tommy
G
He still drives his old man's Harley
C
He spends all of his money
D
Trying to keep the damn thing running
C
He lost his dad last summer
G
Tommy was his only son and
C
That's all he got from him
D
So he ain't gonna stop,

[Chorus]
C
But whatever keeps you going,
G
Keeps your wheels rolling
C                      D
Whatever helps you sleep at night
G
Or gets you up in the morning
C
It might be something you hate
D
Or you love
G
Or you can't let go of
C                          D
But whatever keeps you going

[Verse 2]
C
She just started college
G
And I guess that she thought it
C
Wouldn't be so hard to leave her mama
D
Back in Michigan
C
So she drives from Wisconsin
G
Way too often
C
Just to get a good talk in
D
And drives back again

[Chorus]
C
But whatever keeps you going,
G
Keeps your wheels rolling
C                       D
Whatever helps you sleep at night
G
Or gets you up in the morning
C
It might be something you hate
D
Or you love
G
Or you can't let go of,
C                     Am  D
Whatever keeps you going

[Verse 3]
C
There's a big old farm house
G
Bout 45 miles south
C
And it's far enough out that
D
You can see the stars
C
Well nothing comes easy
G
So I work on the weekend
C               D
So someday we can
G
Make it ours

[Chorus]
C
Whatever keeps you going,
G
Keeps your wheels rolling
C                           D
Whatever helps you sleep at night
G
Or gets you up in the morning
C
It might be something you hate
D
Or you love
G
Or you can't let go of
C                   Am    D
Whatever keeps you going
