verse 1 

Fm                 Db             Ab 
      I fought my battles in the rain yesterday 
Fm                  Db          Ab 
      I fought the lions in my cage 
Fm               Db            Ab 
      But do you see me lying down in defeat 
Fm        Db          Ab 
      No, no, no you don’t 
Fm             Db            Ab 
      Have you ever wondered why people don’t give up 
Fm             Db            Ab 
      Have you ever seen me cry when the storm won’t let up 
Fm             Db          Ab 
      Does it ever make a difference whether or not 
            Fm           Db          Ab 
      They know that the war is not lost 

Pre-Chorus 
Fm                 Db                    Ab 
      So when the storms of life try to take me over 
Fm             Db             Ab 
      You can tell them that I said 
Chorus 
   N.C.                  Ab       Db2       Ab 
Tell them that I’m a survivor, a fighter, alive 
                        Ab        Db2   Ab 
And I’m ready to face tomorrow, a new man
