G
I thought it was forever

G
I thought it would last

G
Gotta try to make it

G
A page of my past

C
You didn't even say goodbye

C                        G
When you slammed that door

G
Now I'm lyin' here alone

G
In what once was our bed

G
Trying to forget

G
All the cruel words you said

C
All the radio was playing

C                             G
What once was our favorite song

Em                           A7
Oh enough is enough I won't take anymore

     C                 D7
I'm picking myself up off the floor

          G         Cadd9        G
Cause you can't keep a good man down

Cadd9     G         Cadd9        G
      You can't keep a good man down

Cadd9     G         Cadd9        G
Oh no you can't keep a good man down

Cadd9      G         Cadd9       G
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
The strumming rhythm for the chorus might be tricky at first *Lick*
G
Gonna dress up in my finest

G
Clothes that I own

G
And take it to the streets

G
I won't be lonely for long

C
Gonna put on my best moves

C                         G
On every single woman I see

G
Now you thought you could break me

G
Add me to your list

G
Notch me on your gun

G
Let me tell you this

C
I've got news for you baby

C                       G
I don't break that easily

G         G         Cadd9        G
Cause you can't keep a good man down

Cadd9     G         Cadd9        G
      You can't keep a good man down

Cadd9     G         Cadd9        G
Oh no you can't keep a good man down

Cadd9      G         Cadd9       G
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
*Lick*
G
I'll be out there on the scene

G
Hangin' with my friends

G
This world's gonna see

G
Me smilin' again

C
I'm taking some time

C                         G
To erase you from my memory

G
Don't write any letters

G
Don't call me on the phone

G
Don't knock on my door

G
Cause to you I'm not at home

C
I know there's a woman out there

C                G
For a man like me

          G         Cadd9        G
Cause you can't keep a good man down

Cadd9     G         Cadd9        G
      You can't keep a good man down

Cadd9     G         Cadd9        G
Oh no you can't keep a good man down

Cadd9      G         Cadd9       G     Cadd9
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down

Em                           A7
Oh enough is enough I won't take anymore

     C                 D7
I'm picking myself up off the floor

          G         Cadd9        G
Cause you can't keep a good man down

Cadd9     G         Cadd9        G
Baby, You can't keep a good man down

Cadd9      G         Cadd9        G
Honey, you can't keep a good man down

Cadd9      G         Cadd9        G
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
*Chorus again* That should be it. *tabbed my drummurdood89*
