Biography:
Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

When it's been that kind of day, baby

When everything is not what it should be

When your head's not making sense, baby
When your heart is just a mystery
When you're sitting on the fence
Instead of knowing where you're s'posed to be
Well just keep keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday
We'll be keeping the faith

Won't do nothing if there's something
Em Em D D D D
Missing way down deep inside
It's the weary, it's the lonesome
It's the forest that we just can't see
Don't forget now, there ain't no one who
Isn't trying to see beyond the trees
So just keep keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday
We'll be keeping the faith
Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away
Keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday [this line only: C C D Em]
We'll be keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, don't give it away
