[Verse 1]
E
  Your big ol' heart takes a lot on
E
Shoulders the world
E
  It takes a lot to unfold
        E
And you compromise so
      E
Don't try to understand


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m            D    C#m            D  A
  Your big ol' heart   gets beaten down


[Chorus]
       E    D   A
Beaten down
                E    D   A
It ain't beaten down
                E    D   A
It ain't beaten down
                D    A
It ain't beaten down
N.C.                      E
Don't you hear it beatin' now?


[Verse 2]
E
 We're dig on life
    E                      A         E
You try to see her but she wants you back
        A                   E
And you see it all over her face
E
  Our freedom
   E
We breathe in
   A           E
We have a good life
         A            E
Then you see her like that


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m            D    C#m            D  A
  Your big ol' heart   gets beaten down


[Chorus]
       E    D   A
Beaten down
                E    D   A
It ain't beaten down
                E    D   A
It ain't beaten down
                Bm   C#   D    A
It ain't beaten down
N.C.  E
Oooohhh


[Bridge]
E
  Don't get shot down
E
  In the dark alley where the air is smoke
E
  And we're so misunderstood


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m            D    C#m            D  A
  Your big ol' heart   gets beaten down


[Chorus]
       E    D   A
Beaten down
                E    D   A
It ain't beaten down
                E    D   A
It ain't beaten down
                Bm   C#   D    A
It ain't beaten down
N.C.
Don't mean you're beaten down
