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