[Verse 1]
Fm
  We’ll brave this storm
                  G#
together It looks like we’re
       A#m
in for nasty weather
Fm
  For too long we’ve
been the villain
    G#
Our rhetoric was
A#m
unfulfilling

[Verse 2]
Fm
  No time for contemplating
G#                A#m
Sick and tired of masquerading
Fm
  This mountain is hard to climb
G#
Those with weak minds
A#m
will get left behind

[Refrain 1]
C#
  There is a constant battle
   Fm
between our hearts and minds
C#
  What is your motivation
   D#             C
to leave it all behind?

[Chorus 1]
              Fm       C#
You’ve got to break me down
         G#            A#m
again to make me come alive
              Fm      C#
You’ve got to tear me up
           G#              C
inside and I’ll rebuild in time
              Fm       C#
You’ve got to break me down
  G#             A#m
to make me come alive
              Fm      C#
You’ve got to tear me up
           G#              C
inside and I’ll rebuild in time
Let’s come alive!

[Verse 3]
Fm
  Heartbeats are synchronized
      G#               A#m
While keeping all eyes on
             Fm
the prize now  Road rash

and third degree burns
G#            A#m
All a part of lessons
learned and

[Verse 4]
Fm
  The hits will keep on coming
G#                   A#m
Like a freight train always
       Fm
running  Life rips you down
             G#
in time With tattered flesh
      A#m
stand tall you have a spine

[Refrain 2]
C#
  Don’t let your scars and
         Fm
flaws be how you are defined
C#
  You’re stronger than you know
   D#                C
it comes from deep inside
