F Gm F
I see you sittin' there all alone
Gm F
Crying your eyes out
C Gm F D#
While everything's going wrong
Bb F
You know there's gonna be
Gm
A whole lot of trouble in your life

C Cm
Listen to me, get up off your knees
C F D#
'Cause only the strong survive

Bb F
Only the strong survive
C
Only the strong survive
Am A Dm
Hey, you gotta be strong
C Bb
You gotta hold on
F Gm Am Bb
I said don't give up, no don't

C F
I said don't go around
Gm
With your head looking down
A Gm F D#
Dont you let'em make you feel like a clown
Bb F
There's a lot of opportunity
Gm
Out there just waiting for you
C
But you'll never succeed if you've given up
F
And say your life is through
