[Intro]
Dm7 (C on top) / Dm7 (no 3rd) / Dm13
 
[Verse 1]
Dm7                   C9      Cmaj7
Finding it hard to differentiate
       Em7
Are my proclivities of society
   D#maj7
Or innate
          Dm7
Well, the source is irrelevant
         Fmaj7
When it comes to truth
       Em7                                   D#maj7
And the truth is I want the same thing that you do
         Dm7     Em7      Fmaj7
Childlike curiosity about my fate
       F#m7    B5/F#
Is the only thing
             E13(no 3rd)
That makes me stay
 
[Chorus]
   Dm7      Cmaj7
It keeps me alive
   Dm7      Cmaj7 C#m7
It keeps me alive
   Dm7      Cmaj7
It keeps me alive
   Bm7
It keeps me breathin' right
 
[Verse 2]
Dm7                Cmaj7
And yet the holy grail beckons
           Em7                                          D#maj7   Fmaj7
"Hey, your chalice could still be filled some day by someone"
D#maj7 Dm7      Em7        Fmaj7
Child-like curiosity about my fate
   Dm7alt        Em7alt      Fmaj7
Is the only thing that makes me stay
Dm7                        Em7       Fmaj7
Though I've never been a sucker for co-dependency
    F#m7   B5/F#         E13(no 3rd)
I'm taken by the possibility
 
[Chorus]
   Dm7      Cmaj7
It keeps me alive
   Dm7      Cmaj7 C#m7
It keeps me alive
   Dm7      Cmaj7
It keeps me alive
   Bm7                    Bm7(no 3rd)
It keeps me breathin' right
