"It Keeps You Up"



F  Am  Dm  C

You are the first in your me parade.
You're getting older, they stay the same.
Your funny look and your jealous eyes.
They can't relate to a thing you say.


Bb
When all in all is all we are
G
May not get you very far.

F
It keeps you up at night,     Am
How did they by their way into you?

F  Dm  Am


F     Am      Dm     C
We heard you first on the radio
You complicate the material.
How can it be that we'd get there first?
It was a lie, it was a lie just to say the words.

Dm                             Am
They sleep inside your living room.

F 
You give just another diamond at the... ???  (cant figure out what he's singing)
Dm                             Am
?????????????????? when it's over you.

We still remember things you said,
G
When your face was turning red.
