Am Dm C

Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta keep on keeping on,
C
Even with the feeling
            C
That you're gonna keep losing
Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta come back strong
C                C
Oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh oh-oh
Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta keep on keeping on,
C
Even with the feeling
            C
That you're gonna keep losing
Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta come back strong
C                C
Oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh oh-oh

Am
He spent most of his youth
         Dm
With his head down
         C
Chubby, fugly, awkward walk
    C
And not much of a talker
Am                          Dm
He was good at setting bad examples
            C
But bad at math, crunch time
 C
He kept it moving like the lunch line
Am
Working on his salad bars
     Dm
And fruit punch lines
    C
His simple triplets had his
C
English teachers tongue tied
Am                            Dm
As he starts pirouette for perfection
     C
And Darren Aronofsky black swan reflection

           F
He plucked feathers from his back
              F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
 Am
Towards something more, he wasn't sure
         F
He plucked feathers from his back
               F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
 E
Towards something more, towards something more!

Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta keep on keeping on,
C
Even with the feeling
            C
That you're gonna keep losing
Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta come back strong
C                C
Oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh oh-oh
Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta keep on keeping on,
C
Even with the feeling
            C
That you're gonna keep losing
Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta come back strong
C                C
Oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh oh-oh

Am                        Dm
Raised in a broken home built brick
                       C
By government cheese brick
 C
Back and forth between parents
         Am
Making us sea sick
Am
On his knees every night
  Dm
Praying for a little change
  C
But the tooth fairy was broke
C
And offered little hope
             Am
He used to stand in front of mirrors
         Dm
With his toothbrush star searching
       C
But he ain't have to search far
            Am
He was smart and made a pact with himself
         Dm                       C
With a smirk and made a vow that one day
 C
His dad would never ever have to worry

           F
He plucked feathers from his back
              F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
 Am
Towards something more, he wasn't sure
         F
He plucked feathers from his back
               F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
 E
Towards something more, towards something more!

Am            Dm

Am                Dm
Fast forward a few 24 hours
        C
Little boy turned man
       C
Makes good on his promise
        Am
Just to say we didn't take the trips
          Dm
To the Bahamas
          F
Now your boy bank account
       F
Got a few more commas...
Am                   Dm         
The hard work payed off, don't it?
  F
Plus it feel good when you can say you own it
   Am                   Dm
No rent, lease, loan or a mortgage
 F
That generator money, no shortage

           F
He plucked feathers from his back
              F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
 Am
Towards something more, he wasn't sure
         F
He plucked feathers from his back
               F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
 E
Towards something more, towards something more!

Oh! You gotta come back strong
C                C
Oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh oh-oh
Am            Dm
Oh! You gotta keep on keeping on,
C
Even with the feeling
