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

[Verse 2]   
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]   
                    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
