[intro]

                            
  When it's been that kind of day, baby
                                      
  When everything is not what it should be
                      
  Everybody's had their say;  Let's
                       
  just say today is history

                           
And keep keeping the faith
                     
Keeping the faith, everyday;  We're
                  
Keeping the faith
     C            C           D        [drop 2 beats, go to instrumental]
Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away

                
[instrumental]

When your head's not making sense, baby
When your heart is just a mystery
When you're sitting on the fence
Instead of knowing where you're s'posed to be

Well just keep keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday
We'll be keeping the faith
     C            C           D        G  [don't drop 2 beats this time]
Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away

[piano solo]

                         
  All the style,   all the money
                      
  All the power you can buy
                              
  Won't do nothing   if there's something
                             
  Missing way down deep inside

It's the weary, it's the lonesome
It's the forest that we just can't see
Don't forget now, there ain't no one who
Isn't trying to see beyond the trees

So just keep keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday
We'll be keeping the faith
Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away

Keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday   [this line only: C C D Em]
We'll be keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, don't give it away
