[Verse]
 
E                           A
Ever had a feeling that you can't go on
       Am                       E
Trying to be strong but getting weaker
E                                      A
When your carrying the weight of every single day
       Am                      E
Having lost your way feeling defeated
B           A               E/G#            F#m
Sat staring counting spiral patterns on the wall
B          A               E/G#       F#m            E
You wonder if your life is ever gonna turn around at all
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                                     B
You need a little light to guide the way
                             C#m
Waiting on the sun to shine again
                                  A
You've got to keep your head held high
                                  E
You've got to keep your head held high
                                B
You need a little hope to carry on
                                      C#m
In the middle of the night when your alone
                                  A
You've got to keep your head held high
                                  E
You've got to keep your head held high
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                                  A
Your bedroom carpets stained with rose wine
        Am                      E
Empties left behind the morning after
E                          A                     Am                         E
The distant pur of cars on soaking roads and the street echoes the noise of laughter
B          A           E/G#             F#m
The bottom of a bottle finds you almost every night
B          A               E/G#       F#m             E
You wonder if your life is ever gonna turn out right again
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                                     B
You need a little light to guide the way
                             C#m
Waiting on the sun to shine again
                                  A
You've got to keep your head held high
                                  E
You've got to keep your head held high
                                B
You need a little hope to carry on
                                      C#m
In the middle of the night when your alone
                                  A
You've got to keep your head held high
                                  E
You've got to keep your head held high

[Bridge]
 
B            A               E/G#          F#m
Confused and battered by the motion of the changing tides
B            A                E/G#           F#m
your nearing empty and you've barely got the will to fight
B          A             E/G#           F#m             E
You wonder if your gonna live or if you will survive at all
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
                                     B
You need a little light to guide the way
                             C#m
Waiting on the sun to shine again
                                  A
You've got to keep your head held high
                                  E
You've got to keep your head held high
                                B
You need a little hope to carry on
                                      C#m
In the middle of the night when your alone
                                  A
You've got to keep your head held high
                                  E
You've got to keep your head held high
