Intro: C (8x) 
 
     C             G/B                  Am 
 Sometimes the night starts closing in  
        G            F 
 And I've lost my way home again  
                C            G 
 I'm running out of places I can turn        
C   G/B              Am 
 Enemies on every side  
       G                 F 
 Not a friend around for miles  
                C                G 
 That's the time it really starts to hurt  
 

 Am            G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down  
      F            G       
 I'll never be afraid  
              C 
 I will hold my head high  
                  G/B 
 Lift my hands to the sky  
                Am         G        D/F# D 
 Rise above all who try to bring me down  
F       G       C 
 I will hold my head high   
C          G/B          Am 
 I know you said it'd be okay  
           G                   F 
 Sometimes I question just the same  
            C             G 
 I wonder if my problems are too small  
C             G/B       Am 
 Then I look back and realize  
        G              F 
 All your pain and sacrifice  
            C               G 
 Oh and how you suffered for us all  
 

 Am            G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down  
      F            G       
 I'll never be afraid  
 
 Chorus 
 
 Solo 
 

 Am            G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down        
     C               G/B 
 And lock me in or keep me out  
     Am               G/B       
 Whatever they may throw at me  
      F           G 
 I'll turn into a song for you 
 
  Chorus(2x)
