"Keep It Together" - Madonna
Chords by Joan's Genius 2012
NOTES:
You play the Cm twice as long, compared to the Bb Ab.
So I guess the chord pattern can also be written as "Cm Cm Bb Ab".
INTRO:
Cm Bb Ab
Keep, keep it together, forever, keep, keep it together
(x3)
VERSE 1:
Cm Bb Ab
I got brothers, I got some sisters too
Cm Bb Ab
Stuck in the middle, tell you what I'm gonna do
Cm Bb Ab
Gonna get out of here, I'm gonna leave this place
Cm Bb Ab
So I can forget every single hungry face
Cm Bb Ab
I'm tired of sharing all the hand me downs
Cm Bb Ab
To get attention, I must always be the clown
Cm Bb Ab
I wanna be different, I wanna be on my own
Cm Bb Ab
But Daddy said listen, you will always have a home
CHORUS:
Cm Bb Ab
Keep it together in the family
Cm Bb Ab
They're a reminder of your history
Cm Bb Ab
Brothers and sisters they hold the key
Cm Bb Ab
To your heart and your soul, don't forget that your family is gold

VERSE 2:
Cm Bb Ab
I hit the big time but I still get the blues
Cm Bb Ab
Everyone's a stranger, city life can get to you
Cm Bb Ab
People can be so cold, never want to turn your back
Cm Bb Ab
Just givin' to get something
Cm Bb Ab
Always wanting something back
Cm Bb Ab
When I get lonely and I need to be

Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me

We have a connection, home is where the heart should be
(Chorus)
BRIDGE:

When I look back on all the misery
Cm Bb Ab
And all the heartache that they brought to me

I wouldn't change it for another chance

'Cause blood is thicker than any other circumstance

We have a connection, home is where the heart should be
