No capo (for original key)
E F#m C#m A
Oh -h –h –h , Oh – h-h-h, Oh – h-h-h
E F#m
Swing left, swing right
C#m
Bruised and black-eyed
A
Half a life
E F#m C#m A
Bleeding, choking but not broken inside
E
And in this world of compromise
F#m
I hit every curb, every red light
C#m A
Trying to keep both hands on the wheel
E
But through it all I’m…
(Chorus)
E F#m
Still undefeated
C#m A
With my back against the ropes
E F#m
Still undefeated
C#m A
You can knock me down with forty blows
E F#m C#m A
But you cannot break my hope
E F#m
Weak knees, can’t stand
C#m
Raise up your hands
A
Don’t walk away
E
Been sucker punched but I’m not down
F#m
My feet have never left the ground
C#m
It’s a fight that I can’t fix
A
Like a cut that needs a stitch
And somehow through it all I stay
(Chorus)
E F#m
Still undefeated
C#m A
With my back against the ropes
F#m
Still undefeated
C#m A
You can knock me down with forty blows
E F#m C#m A
But you cannot break my hope
E F#m C#m A
Cannot break my hope
E F#m C#m A
Cannot break my hope
C#m
We’re the ones who take the beating
A
Get back up and we’re still breathing
E B
We are the ones
C#m
We’ll take a hit straight to the face
A
And never look the other way
E B
We are the ones
C#m
We’ll take a hit straight to the face
A
And never look the other way
E B G#
We are the ones
C#m A
Still undefeated
E B
With our backs against the ropes
E F#m
We’ re still undefeated
C#m
We’ll break these chains
A
to let them know
E F#m C#m A
They cannot break our hope
E F#m C#m A
They cannot break our hope
They cannot break our
C#m A E
They can break us down but they cannot break our hope
