What Do I Keep

(transcribed by Jim McGuire)

 

 

The name that I have doesn’t belong to me

G………………………………….C………….

And there’s only a circle left where his ring used to be

C…………..D…………………………….C…………..D..

I’d like to go back to what I was once before

…G…………………………..C…………Am…

But I’m nobody’s little girl anymore

…..D……………………………G….

 

What do I keep

G………….C….

What do I throw away

C…………..G………..

How am I different

G………….D……..

What was I yesterday

D………………G…….

What can I be tomorrow

G………….C……………

When I can’t even think of today

C………G………….D………G….

How can I ever end my sorrow

G…………D………………………

When the night doesn’t end with the day

D………..C…………….Am…………..D…

 

I look around everything seems so strange

G……………………………C………………..

And I don’t need a mirror to tell me how much I’ve changed

C…….D……………………………….C………………..G……

Things I never thought I could do I have done

G……………………………….C………….Am

But I’m too weak to stop and much too frightened to run

……D……………………………………………………G….

 

 

SAME CHORDS AS BEFORE

 

What do I keep What do I throw away

How am I different what was I yesterday

What can I be tomorrow when I can’t even think of today

How can I ever end this sorrow when the night doesn’t end with the day

 

When the night doesn’t end with the day

D………….C…………..Am……………D

 

Finish off with the last line several times
