KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN

Intro:  GCGD GCGDG

Verse 1

G                                   C                                              

My daddy once gave me a bit of advice

                 G                                      D    

If you're thinkin' 'bout adventure, well you better think twice

          G                           C

The chance for a thrill just ain't worth the price

      D                       G

So stick to what you know.

G                              C

Some folks say to live life like a dream

         G                          D

But dreams all break against the machine

G                                    C                                        

Don't be foolish, watch where you go,

        G           D             G                 

and keep your head down low

Chorus

G

Keep your head down

G                             C     G

Keep your head down low

G                           G                          D            G 

There's all kinds of things out there that you don't know.

G        

Keep your head down,

G                            C        G 

Keep you head down low

G                              G                     D                        G            

If you stick it up out there, you never know where it might go.

Verse 2

G                           C                     G                   D

They won't need to beat you down if you are down already

      G                            C                       D                   G                                        

So you'd be wise to heed my advice and go low, slow and steady

    G                                            C                          G                         D               

'Cause if you take a chance, if you dare to dance, if you risk it all instead of quitin'

         G                    C        G   D       G                                                                         

You'll wind up flippin' burgers, in Hell's Kitchen

Chorus

Bridge

G                     G                              C              G 

Strange places, strange faces, strange words and ideas

G                         G                            C                  G

You might get lost, get run aground, the worst of your fears

G                       G                                 C                  G 

might come true, they might get you, they might start screaming

G                           G                    C                     G               

out your sins and frustrations, your devils and your demons

Verse 3

 G                                   C                          G                  D

Like a rose with thorns or a girl with horns, the world is full of danger

       G                           C                       D                                         G  

But you won't get hurt if you don't flirt with some dark-haired brown-eyed stranger. 

          G                        C                                   G                D  

Yeah, the fella who said better loved and lost, than never loved at all

             G               C                               G        D       G                  

Would probably say, "Hey, it's OK, if you just sock me in the balls!"

Chorus
