Keeping Up

E                         A         E        
There's no such thing for me as a nine to five
E                         A            E
It takes more sweat than that Just to get this far
E               A   E   A  E    B   B diddie 
It's like I'm chas-ing my own tail
A                      E               B  
Cause Monday morning starts another stressed out week
B
The world is beathing down my neck I can feel the heat
Go to chorus

C          A     C#m

There's not much left for you and me
A              C#m     B                          E  A B         E  A B
And no job se-curity sure makes it tough  Keeping up     Keeping up
E      B     A          B        C#m
I can stop, like it or not, I'm stuck
       A                         B                        E
It's running me to death and I'm out of breathe   Keeping Up
 E              A         B             E   
(I'm moving as fast as I can)  Keeping Up
E                    A   B             E
