[Verse 1]
F#m     Bm
it gets harder

             G           D
to keep trying to hold on

F#m       Bm
watch our hopes take wing

G                         A
wave at them when they're gone

            F#m           Bm
plunge like suicides from rooftops

D
break our ankles when we land

    F#m       D
and bless the arrows

            A     
that strike us where we stand
[Chorus]
                    D   G           A
if it doesn't crush me, it's alright

                    D   G           A
if it doesn't break me, it's alright

              D                             A
all the petty demons trying to break me in two

      D                         G
i was born stronger than any of you

      D            A             D
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

F#m           Bm    
it gets complicated

          G                         D
when they come in for their counter-attack

F#m               Bm
everybody hates a victim

    G                   A
who won't stop fighting back

F#m                  Bm
spray blood in their faces

D
play for keeps

    F#m             D
and bless the brave assassins

    A
who strike us while we sleep
[Chorus]

if it doesn't crush me, it's alright

if it doesn't break me, it's alright

              D                             A
all the petty demons trying to break me in two

i was born stronger than any of you

      D            A             D
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
