C#m                           A
Lately I've been feeling so alone
     E                           G#
Can someone give the antidote to me so I can
C#m                          A
Finally understand where I belong
     E                             G#
The world outside to me is like an ocean and I

C#m
Can't swim
     A
I'm losing my grip
       E
Caught up in the current
       G#
Won't drown in this ship
C#m
I can't swim
     A
I'm starting to slip
     E                                    G#
I'm running out of breath, I'm scared to death

Chorus:
                C#m           A
I gotta keep my head up up up up
              E                   G#
Up above the water, up above the water
              C#m           A
Gotta keep my head up up up up
                E                  G#
I'm never going under, never going under
           C#m
As long as air's in my lungs
A
Blood's in my veins
     E                   G#
I'm not going down this way
                C#m           A
I gotta keep my head up up up up
              E                   G#
Up above the water, up above the water

If I hit the bottom will I break?
Cause I've been there before a million times but I don't
Know how much more of this I can take
I'm at the surface, what is my purpose?
It's making me nervous, I

Can't swim
I'm losing my grip
Caught up in the current
Won't drown in this ship
I can't swim
I'm starting to slip
I'm running out of breath, I'm scared to death

Chorus:
I gotta keep my head up up up up
Up above the water, up above the water
Gotta keep my head up up up up
I'm never going under, never going under
As long as air's in my lungs
Blood's in my veins
I'm not going down this way
I gotta keep my head up up up up
Up above the water, up above the water

 A                 B
Holding on, still holding on
 C#m             G#
How'd it get so deep? Yeah
 A                 B
Holding on, still holding on
 C#m             G#
How'd it get so deep? Yeah
 A                 B
Holding on, still holding on
     G#
I'm running out of breath, I'm scared to death

Chorus:
I gotta keep my head up up up up
Up above the water, up above the water
Gotta keep my head up up up up
I'm never going under, never going under
As long as air's in my lungs
Blood's in my veins
I'm not going down this way
I gotta keep my head up up up up
Up above the water, up above the water
