[Verse 1]
          A                    D
There's a tree in the city, it ain't lookin' pretty
A                         D
Blessed with stress, smog clogging feelin' shitty
          A                     D
There's a river on the highway, things ain't goin' my way
A                     D
Turn around, go away, come again another day
A                D
To the bed I go, stumble to and fro
    A                         D
I'm tired from another day of lookin' for my glow
     A               D
It's hard to get up, you can say I'm fed up
    A                            D
But one things for certain, yo I gotta keep my head up

[Pre-Chorus]
          A
Keep your head up
        D
Keep my head up
          A
Keep your head up
        D
Keep my head up
          A
Keep your head up girl
          D
Keep your head up
          A
Keep your head up
        D
Keep my head up
          A
Keep your head up
        D
Keep my head up
          A
Keep your head up girl
          D
Keep your head up

[Chorus]
    A                 D
The sun ain't hard to see
     A              D
Just turn off your TV
A           D                 A             D
Everything around you is just part of every other thing
A  D  A   D
I'm a tree

[Verse 2]
A                         D
Why you gotta do what you do
           A                            D
So why you gotta tell me how to be gee, make me feel like you do
    A                            D
I'm tried of messing around it's time to let these people know
  A
A tree in the city, it needs somewhere to grow
A                          D
River on the highway, I've never seen a grayer day
     A                    D
It's sad, it's crappy, it needs somewhere to play
A               D
As for me, I'll sit under the tree
          A                        D
Cuz there ain't no better place to be

[Pre-Chorus]
          A
Keep your head up
        D
Keep my head up
          A
Keep your head up
        D
Keep my head up
          A
Keep your head up girl
          D
Keep your head up
          A
Keep your head up
        D
Keep my head up
          A
Keep your head up
        D
Keep my head up
          A
Keep your head up girl
          D
Keep your head up

[Chorus]
    A                 D
The sun ain't hard to see
     A              D
Just turn off your TV
A           D                 A             D
Everything around you is just part of every other thing
A  D  A   D

[Bridge]
    A           D         A                D
And yo, why the freak are y'all staring at me?
                A           D
I'm a tree, now yo, why the freak
      A
I'm a tree (no you're not)
      D
