Gm                         Gm7
Just like cold steel shot hot out of a gun
      Gm                                  Gm7
Just like a orange peel left all day in the sun
Gm
I've got no feel that's done left me scarred
C
What don't kill me has done made me hard


[Pre-Chorus]
    Gm                                          Gm7
Just like storms feel when you've got no place to run
    Gm                                           Gm7
Just like love feels when you thought she was the one
    Gm                    Gm7
From the school of hard-knocks
     Gm                        Gm7
Trapped between a rock and a hard place
 C                                 Gm7
What don't kill me has done made me hard


[Chorus]
Cm
I've learned to breathe underwater
Gm
And lay fire to bed
 Cm
I'm just a man under pressure
 Gm
Like Muddy Waters said
 Cm
Disappointment can drop me
 Gm
From a thousand stories high
  Cm
I got a spare set of wings
  D7
Watch me fly


[Pre-Chorus]
       Gm                                 Gm7
Just like storms feel when you've no place to run
       Gm                                  Gm7
Just like love feels when you thought she was the one
       Gm
The school of hard-knocks
       Fm                      Gm7
Right between a rock and a hard place
  C                              Gm
What don't kill me has done made me hard


[Chorus]
    Cm
I've learned to breathe underwater
  Gm
And lay fire to bed
   Cm
I'm just a man under pressure
  Gm
Like Muddy Waters said
   Cm
Disappointment can drop me
   Gm
From a thousand stories high
 Cm
I've got a spare pair of wings
   D7
Oh, watch me fly


[Verse 2]
    Gm
Taxes are due
                      Gm7
And I'm through with you
                        Gm
I've been lonely a long time
           Gm7
I'm hungry now
                  Gm
And I was hungry then
                 Gm7
I've gotta know them
                                Gm
I've got a notice just the other day
                        Gm7
They said that I'm underwater
         Gm
I'm underwater
