Intro: G  
GI'm down here waitin' on a shattered heart
I'm gonna put it back together if it tears me apart
If I can Ckeep it up
If I can Gkeep it up
GI've been complaining like a broken record
Gonna get what I want if it takes forever
If I can Ckeep it up
If I can Gkeep it up
Though the Drain weighs down your Gwings
Still the Dcaged bird's got to Gsing
Singing nFa na na na nCa na na na Gna
I know it seems funny tryin' to understand
It's just that things don't always go the way you planned
Still you keep it up
Still you keep it up
Nothin' in the world's gonna keep me down
I'm just a-holdin' out just a-hangin' round
Tryin' to keep it up
Just to keep it up
Though the rain weighs down your wings
Still the caged bird's got to sing
Singing na na na na na na na na na
Singing na na na na na na na na na

Take us up to heaven gonna be okay

Though the rain weighs down your wings
Still the caged bird's got to sing
Singing na na na na na na na na na
Keep it Cu--G-p
