(Original Key: C#)
Intro:
C/G Am (x2)
Verse 1:
If you [C]call out [G/B]loud, will it [Am]get in-[C]side?[C7]
Through the [F]heart of your sur-[C]render; to your [Dm]alibis?[F/G]
And you can [C]say the [G/B]words, like you [Am]under-[C]stand,[C7]
But, the [F]power's in be-[C]lieving; so give your-[Eb]self a chance.[Dm][F/G]
Bridge 1:
'Cos you can; [F]climb the highest mountain,[Bb][F/G]
[C] Swim the deepest sea, [Gm7]hee.[F/A]
[F] All you need, is the [C]will to win it,
D7 F/G (n.C)
And a, little self-esteem.
Chorus 1:
So keep the [Bb]faith;[F]
Don't [C]let nobody turn you 'round.
[Bb] You gotta know when it's [F]good to go;
To get your [C]dreams up off the ground.
Keep the [Bb]faith, baby, [F]yeah,
Because it's [Ab]just a matter of [C/G]time,
Before your [Eb13]confidence will win out.
Be-[Bb]lieve in your-[F]self, no matter [Gm7]what it's [C/G]gon' [F]take,
Bb F F/G (n.C) C F/C C
You can be a winner, but you got to keep the faith.
[F/C] Gon' keep it, [C]brother, you got it.[F/C][C]
Verse 2:
[C] And when you [G/B]think of trust, don't it [Am]lead you [C]home,[C7]
To a [F]place that you only [C]dream of, when you're [Dm]all alone?[F/G]
And you can [C]go by [G/B]feel, 'stead of [Am]circum-[C]stance,[C7]
But the [F]power's in be-[C]lieving, so give your-[Eb]self a chance.[Dm]
[F/G] I know that you can...
Bridge 2:
[F] Sail across the water,[Bb][F/G]
[C] Float across the sky, [Gm7]high.[F/A]
F C D7 F/G (n.C)
Any road that you take, will get you there; if you only try.
Chorus 2:
So keep the [Bb]faith, [F] ow!
Don't [C]let nobody take you down, brother,
[Bb] Just keep your [F]eyes on the prize;
C (n.C)
And your feet, flat on the ground.
Keep the [Bb]faith, baby, [F]yeah,
Because it's [Ab]just a matter of [C/G]time,
Before your [Eb13]confidence will win out.
[Bb] I told my [F]brother how to [Gm7]do the [C/G]thing [F]right,
[Bb] Lift up your [F]head, and show the [Gm7]world you [C/G]got [F]pride.
[Bb] Go for what you [F]want; don't let them [Gm7]get in [C/G]your [F]way,
Bb F F/G (n.C) C F/C C, F/C C
You can be a winner, but you got to keep the faith.
You [F/C]got it.[C]
Middle 8:
[C] I know that keepin' the [G]faith, [E7]means [Am]never giving up on love,
But the [Ab]power that love has to make it [F/G]right; makes it[G/A], makes it right.
KEY CHANGE
Chorus 3:
So keep the [Cadd9]faith,[G/B]
Don't [D]let nobody turn you 'round, brother,
[Cadd9] You gotta know when it's [G/B]good to go;
D (n.C)
To get your dreams, up off the ground.
Keep the [Cadd9]faith, baby, [G/B]yeah,
Because it's [Bb]just a matter of [D]time,
Before your [F13]confidence will win out.
Better [C]stand up and [G/B]act like you [Am7]wanna do [G/B]right,
[C] Don't play the [G/B]fool, for the [Am7]rest of your [G/B]life.
[C] Work on it [G/B]brother, and you'll [Am7]make it some[G/B]-day,
[C] Go for what you [G/B]want, and don't for-[Am7]get the [G/B]faith.
[C] Look at your-[G/B]self and what you [Am7]doin' right [G/B]now,
[C] Stand back a [G/B]minute, just to [Am7]check yourself [G/B]out.
[C] Straighten out your [G/B]life, and how you're [Am7]livin' each [G/B]day,

Before your [F13]confidence will win out.
[C] Lift up your [G/B]mind, before your [Am7]mind gets [G/B]blown,
[C] Some things in [G/B]life; you best just [Am7]leave them a-[G/B]lone.
[C] Go for what you [G/B]want; don't let it [Am7]get in your [G/B]way;
C G/B G/A (n.C)
You can make it happen, but ya got to keep the faith.
Break:
(n.C)
Gon' keep it brother; you got to keep the faith, yeah, keep the faith.
Gon' keep it sister; you got to keep the faith, now, now.
I'll show my brotha how to do the thing right,
Lift up your head, and show the world you got pride.
Go for what you want; don't let 'em get in your way,
You can be a winner, if you keep the faith.
Straighten out yourself, and get your mind on track,
Dust off your butt, and get your self-respect back.
You've known me long enough to know that I don't play,
Take it like you want it but you got to keep the[(D)] faith.
Coda:
[D] (Keep the [G/B]faith), gon,
Don't [D]let nobody take you down, brother,
[C] Just keep your [G/B]eyes on the prize;
And your [D]feet back on the ground.
