Eb           Cm
I dedicate my life
              Eb
To something richer
                          Cm
And all the things that come
                         Gm
'Cuz that's no price at all
       Ab              Cm
And I know you'll be there
Gm                  Ab
And I want you to know I care because


[Chorus]
Eb         Cm                 Gm             Ab
Keep your head up, hold your head up even though

It's a cruel world
  Eb          Cm                 Gm                    Ab
Count your blessings, you won't need them when you're gone

It's a cruel world
 Eb        Cm                Gm            Ab
You can't see it, you can't see it even though

It's a cruel world
Eb   Cm   Gm   Ab

[Verse 2]
Eb                       Cm
We're thrown into this life
                Eb
No raft, no savior
                   Cm
Masked in self contempt
                        Gm
And wrapped in cotton cloth
          Ab            Cm
And it's just like a prayer
Gm                         Ab
The way you showed me you care to be there and because


[Chorus]
Eb          Cm                Gm            Ab
Keep your head up, hold your head up even though

It's a cruel world
 Eb         Cm                    Gm                    Ab
Count your blessings, you won't need them when you're gone

It's a cruel world
Eb         Cm                Gm           Ab
You can't see it, you can't see it even though

It's a cruel world
Eb   Cm   Gm   Ab
