Karen O - If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb]
[F] [Bb] [F] If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta [Eb] be tough.
[F] When you get knocked down, you gotta get [Bb] back up.
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, [Eb] but I know enough to [F] know
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta [Bb] be tough.
I lit my brain with [Eb] rot-gut whiskey
[F] Till my pain was [Bb] chicken bride, and I had dudes with [Eb] badges frisking me
[F]
Teach me how to [Bb] swallow pride.
I took advice no [Eb] fool would take
[F] I got some habits I [Bb] can't shake
I ain't the sharpest knife in the [Eb] drawer, but I know enough to know
[F] If you're gonna be dumb, you [Bb] gotta be tough.
If you're gonna be dumb, you [Eb] gotta be tough
[F] When you get knocked down, you gotta get [Bb] back up
That's the way it is in [Eb] life, you know
[F]
Gonna be dumb.
You [Bb] gotta be tough
[Eb]
[F] [Bb]
I've been [B] up and down and down
[F] I've been left hand [Bb] writing over all
Well, I walk the walk and I run my [Eb] mouth
Been on the shore and [Bb] for too long
If they ain't gave medals for honky [Eb]-tonk fucking wars
[F] I'd be mine in [Bb] a chest drawer with my IRS bills [Eb] and divorce papers and all that stuff
[F] If you're gonna be dumb, [Bb] you gotta be tough
If [G] you're gonna be dumb, you gotta [Eb] be tough
[F] When you get knocked down, [Bb]
you gotta get back up
I ain't the sharpest knife in [Eb] the drawer, but I know
If you're gonna be dumb, you [Bb] gotta be tough
[F] If you're gonna be dumb, you [Eb] gotta be tough
If you're gonna be dumb, you [Bb] gotta be tough
[Gb] [Bb]
