BILLY JOEL - KEEPING THE FAITH
D
If it Dseems like I've been lost in let's remember
If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days
Oh, then you Gshould have known me much better
Cause my past is something that never
Got in my Dway oh no
Still I Dwould not be here now if I never had the hunger
And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends, oh
Cause I Gnever felt the desire till their music set me on fire
Then I was A6saved, Gyeah
That's why I'm keeping the A6faith
GN.C.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the Dfaith
We wore Dmatador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
Oh, I Gput on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop Dshades, oh yeah
I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave, oh
Combed my Ghair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the Romeos wore
A permanent A6wave Gyeah
We were keeping the A6faith
GN.C.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the Dfaith
(Bridge)
You can Aget just so Gmuch from a Dgood thing
You can Alinger too Glong in your Ddreams
Say goodAbye to the Goldies but Dgoodies
Cause the Em7good old days weren't always good
And A7tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
DLearned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K. oh
I Gheard about sex but not enough
I found you could dance and still look tough anyDway, oh yes I did
I found out a man ain't just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food drank a lot of take-home pay
I Gthought I was the Duke of Earl
When I made it with a red-haired girl
In a ChevrolA6et, oh Gyes
We were keeping the A6faith
GN.C.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the Dfaith
(Bridge)
Oh oh Aho, oh oh Gho, oh oh Dho-oh
Oh oh Aho, oh oh Gho, oh oh Dho-oh
Oh oh Aho, oh oh Gho, oh oh Dho-oh
You know the Em7good old days weren't always good
ToA7morrow ain't as bad as it seems
I Dtold you my reasons for the whole revival
Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade, oh
I'm going to Glisten to my 45's
Ain't it wonderful to be alive
When the rock 'n' roll A6plays Gyeah
When the memory A6stays, Gyeah
I'm keeping the A6faith
GN.C.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the Dfaith
(fade)
I'm keeping the faith,
yes I am
You know I'm keeping the faith, oh yes I am
You know I'm keeping the faith, oh yeah I am
Oh I'm keeping the faith, oh yes
Ooh, keeping the faith...
