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