(verse 1) 
 
G                          D 
It keeps on getting harder to keep on keeping on 
 
     C                   D            G 
with everybody screaming orders in my ear. 
 
                              D 
I want to be my own man.  I'd love to walk it alone. 
 
         C                      D             G  
But everytime I leave my home, this is what I hear. 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
 
          C 
Keep your nose clean, head above water. 
 
          G 
keep your feet on the ground. keep your hands off my daughter. 
 
          D 
Keep your back to the wind.  Keep your thoughts to yourself. 
 
   C 
An eye on the clock.  Keep an eye on your health. 
 
  D 
I wish they'd let me just keep to myself. 
 
                G 
I do fine on my own. 
 
 
(verse 2) 
G                                   D 
They say to keep up with the times, keep up with the Jones.

Keep up with the rest of your class. 
 
                               D 
So I keep an open mind in this close minded world. 
 
         C                           G 
Keeps on telling me to keep off this grass.
