Old Advice

             G                  
One of these days it's all gonna 
       C
come around
     Cm                        C  
But don't you let the drudgery in 
                 G
between wear you down
               G                   
Just keep your gaze a little 
           C
farther down the road
          Cm
You keep looking at the ground
        C                         
You're bound to lose where you're 
G
going

[Pre-chorus]
C          Cm
Day in and day out
             G                     
I know it's hard to keep your head 
 Em
about you
         Am             Am7
It takes thick skin to hold out
          D
While the world crashes in around 
you

[Chorus 1]

          G                  C
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep 
your hands steady
         G                     
Well the water may rise and put 
  C
cracks in your levy
    G                         Em
The weight that you carry, it might 
be too heavy
C
Like my mama told me...
          G                   C
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep 
your hands steady
         G                     
Well the water may rise and put 
  C
cracks in your levy
    G                         Em  
The weight that you carry, it 
                  C
might be too heavy

[Verse 2]
              G                
Some of these days when you get 
          C
knocked around
Cm                           
Trouble sure seems bigger when 
          C                     G
you're staring up from on the ground
            G                    
Don't be dismayed by a fight that 
           C
you can't win
Cm                      C        
Better to lose on your feet than 
                 G
to lose on your chin

[Pre-chorus]
C          Cm
Day in and day out
            G                      
I know it's hard to keep your head 
 Em
about you
          Am            Am7
It takes thick skin to hold out
           D
While the world crashes in around 
you
