Intro:  C/G (8x) 
 
 C/G           G/B                   Am 
 Sometimes the night starts closing in  
          Em           F 
 And I've lost my way home again  
                       C           G 
 I'm running out of places I can turn    
C/G  G/B           Am 
 Enemies on every side  
        Em                 F 
 Not a friend around for miles  
                     C                 G 
 That's the time it really starts to hurt  
 


 Am              G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down  
       F           G     
 I'll never be afraid  

Chorus
                     C/G 
 I will hold my head high  
                      G/B 
 Lift my hands to the sky  
                    Am     G         D/F#  D 
 Rise above all who try to bring me down  
F       G             C 
 I will hold my head high

Verse 2
  
C/G          G/B             Am 
 I know you said it'd be okay  
                Em              F 
 Sometimes I question just the same  
                C                 G 
 I wonder if my problems are too small  
C/G          G/B         Am 
 Then I look back and realize  
          Em             F 
 All your pain and sacrifice  
                 C                G 
 Oh and how you suffered for us all  
 
 Am              G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down  
      F         G        
 I'll never be afraid  
 
 Chorus 
 
 Solo 
 
 Am             G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down     
      C             G/B 
 And lock me in or keep me out  
     Am            G/B   
 Whatever they may throw at me  
      F           G 
 I'll turn into a song for you
