[Bbm] [Eb] [Db]
[Bb] [Db]
Years ago my [Gb] heart was set [Bbm] to live, [Ab] oh, [Fm] and I've been trying [Db] hard against [Gb] [A] unbelievable odds.
[Db] It gets so [Gb] hard in times like now [Ebm] to [Ab] hold on, [Fm] but guns that wait [Bbm] to be stuck by [Gb]
at my side [B] it's broad.
There [Ab] ain't [Bbm] no one going to [Gb] turn [Db] me around.
Ain't no one going to [Gb] turn [Db] me around.
There's [Gb] people around to tell you that they [Ab] know.
[Fm] And places where [F] to send you, and it's [A] easy to go.
[Db] They'll zip you up and dress you [Ebm] down and stand you in [Ab] a row.
[Fm] But you know you don't have to, [Gb] you could just [B] say no.
There ain't [Bbm] no one going to turn [Db] me around.
Ain't [Bbm] no one going to turn [Db] me around.
Ain't [Bbm] no one going to turn me [Db] around.
Ain't [Bbm] no one going to turn [Db] me around.
[Eb] I've been built up [Gb] and trusted, [Ebm]
broke down [Gb] and busted.
[Eb] But they'll get [Gb] theirs and we'll get [Ebm] ours if we can.
Just [Bbm] go hold [Ebm] on, [Ab] hold [Db] on, [Bbm] hold
[Ebm] on, [Eb] hold [Db] on.
Years [Gb] ago my heart was [Ebm] set to live [Ab] on.
[Fm] I've been trying [Bbm] hard [Gb] against [A] strong odds.
[Db] It gets so [Gb] hard in times like now [Ebm] to hold [Ab] on.
[Fm] But I'll fall if I don't [Bbm] fight, [Gb] that my [B] side is God.
[Fm] There ain't no one going to [Ab] turn me [Db] around.
[G] Ain't no [Fm] one going to turn me [Db] around.
[Ab] Ain't no one going to turn [Db] me around.
Ain't [Ab] no one going to turn me [Db] around.
