WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU
As recorded by Randall King
(From the 2024 Album INTO THE NEON)
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
For all my clock-in, clock-out, nightshift, dog-tired people working overtime
D
For all my sun-up, sun-down
D
Take-the-tractor-'nother-round
A
Prayin' that the grain grows high
E
When it rains, we make it pour on a bar stool, on a back porch
D E
When it's gone, we gonna get a little more
[Chorus]
N.C. D
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
A
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
D
The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer
A
A longer buzz'll keep you lit like a neon light
E
Oh, when life knocks you down
E
Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller
G
What doesn't kill you
D N.C. A
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
[Verse 2]
A
She was a 12 out of 10
A
She could break a neck walking in
A
My ride-or-die, until the end, my little country queen
D
But when she left, she left a scar
D
And sent me straight into the bar
E
So you can take it from me
[Chorus]
N.C. D
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
A
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
D
The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer
A
A longer buzz'll keep you lit like a neon light
E
Oh, when life knocks you down
E
Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller
G
What doesn't kill you
D A
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
[Guitar Solo]
D A D E
[Bridge]
A G
Sometimes, the cure for the blues is a bar crowd
A G D
Sometimes, the only way through is to throw down
D
And that's the ice-cold truth
E
Just drink a mile in my boots
E
I'm the living proof
[Chorus]
N.C. D
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
A
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
D
The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer
A
A longer buzz'll keep you lit like a neon light
E
Oh, when life knocks you down
E
Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller
G
What doesn't kill you
D A
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
[Outro]
A G A
Pour 'em up strong, son
