Intro: Ab5 G5 F5 (4x)
(Ab5 G5 F5)
Step out the door 2 AM yesterday
(Ab5 G5 F5)
Me and my friend keeping the night aflame
(Ab5 G5 F5)
And as we're walking in the clear night blind
(Ab5 G5 F5)
Two guys come up and take him out of sight
Ab
All I know is one thing they hit him hard he doubles up
Bb
They takes his money and they run
and all I can do is watch them go
(Ab5 G5 F5)
His hands are round his nose
(Ab5 G5 F5)
His blood is on his clothes
Cm
What doesn't kill ya
Bb
What doesn't hurt
(F5 Bb5 F5)
Sometimes you feel you're up against the world
Cm
What doesn't kill ya
Bb
What doesn't break
This life it seems
(F5 Bb5 F5)
To bring you to your knees
(F5 Bb5 F5)
You try you bleed then finally you breathe
Intro: Ab5 G5 F5 (2x)
(Ab5 G5 F5)
She was the dream that kept me up at night
(Ab5 G5 F5)
I couldn't face the world without her eyes
(Ab5 G5 F5)
I never knew it till she disappeared
(Ab5 G5 F5)
My life would be a bunch of souvenirs
Ab
All I know is what it is her heart she doubles up
Bb
She packs her bag and then she runs
and all I can do is watch her go
(Ab5 G5 F5)
I've lost all I own
Cm
What doesn't kill ya
Bb
What doesn't hurt
(F5 Bb5 F5)
Sometimes you feel you're up against the world
Cm
What doesn't kill ya
Bb
What doesn't break
This life it seems

To bring you to your knees
(F5 Bb5 F5)
You try you bleed then finally you breathe
