Am
For my sweetheart the melancholic
You have crossed the River Styx
                         F
And the waves have taken you away

Am
As I lay my head on your chest
I can hear it in your veins
                    F
Wake me up when you come to bed
[Chorus]
           Am
So toughen up
Biko, toughen up Biko, toughen up
                 F
This world isn't kind to little things
[Verse 2]
Am
Was my love not strong enough to
Bring you back from the dead?
                           F
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't

Am
So I've been writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grave
                  F
We can dance in a front row again
[Chorus 2]
           Am
So toughen up
Biko, toughen up Biko, toughen up
                 F
I need you to be strong for us

           Am
So toughen up
Biko, toughen up Biko, toughen up
                 F
This world isn't kind to little things
[Verse 3]
Am
Don't you know that when you stand
You stand up for the both of us?
                       F
Remember that when the darkness looms

Am
Every tear you shed is cleansing
Taking the pain away from you
                              F
I left you blueberries in the fridge
The little things that I can do [Chorus 3]
           Am
So toughen up
Biko, toughen up Biko, toughen up
                 F
I need you to be strong for us

           Am
So toughen up
Biko, toughen up Biko, toughen up
                 F
This world isn't kind to little things
[Bridge]
Am
You're not doing this alone, you're not doing this alone
You're not, you're not doing this alone You're not doing this alone, you're not doing this alone You're not doing this alone, you're not doing You're not doing this alone
   Am
Resist, resist

          F
Resist, resist
[Chorus 4]
           Am
So toughen up
Biko, toughen up Biko, toughen up
                 F
I need you to be strong for us

           Am
So toughen up
Biko, toughen up Biko, toughen up
                 F
This world isn't kind to little things

Am
You're not doing this alone

F
You're not doing, not doing this alone
