Verse 1:
A F#m E C#m D
If it's true that a rich man leads a sad life, that's what they say, from day to day
A F#m E C#m D
Then what do all the poor do with their lives, on judgment day with nothing to say
Chorus:
A C#m F#m B
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down, no I'm not down

A F#m E C#m D
When my nerves were pumping and I fought my fear in, I didn't run I was not done
Chorus:

Bridge:
A C#m Em D
'Cos I've lived that kind of day, when none of your sorrows will go away
D C# B
It goes down and down and hit the floor, down and down and down some more, depression
A C#m Em D
But I know there'll be some way, when I can swing everything back my way
D C# B E
Like skyscrapers, rising up, floor by floor, not giving up
Verse 3:
A F#m E C#m D
So you rock around and think that you're the toughest in the world, the whole wide world
A F#m E C#m D
But you're streets away from where it gets the roughest, you ain't been there
Chorus:
A C#m F#m B
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down, no I'm not down

I'm not down, no I'm not down, I'm not down, no I'm not down

I'm not down, no I'm not down, no I'm not down, I'm not down
