Verse 1:
G D Em C
How long 'til it feels like the wounds finally starting to heal
G D Em C
How long 'til it feels like I'm more than a spoke in a wheel
Pre-Chorus 1:
Em C
Most nights I feel that I'm not enough
G D
I've had my share of Monday mornings where I can't get up
Em C D
When hope is lost and I come undone
Chorus:
G
I swear to God I survive
D
If it kills me to
Em
I'ma get up and try
C
If it's the last thing I do
G
I still got something to give
D
Oh, it hurts some times
Em
I'm gonna get up and live
C
Until the day that I die
Cm G
I swear to God I survive
Verse 2:
G D Em C
How long 'til you know that the truth you know nothing at all
G D Em C
How far will you go to get back to the place you belong?
Pre-Chorus 2:
Em C
Most nights I feel that I'm not enough
G D
But I refuse to spend my best years rollin' in the sun
Em C D
So when hope is lost and I come undone
Chorus:
G
I swear to God I survive
D
If it kills me to
Em
I'ma get up and try
C
If it's the last thing I do
G
I still got something to give
D
Oh, it hurts some times
Em
I'm gonna get up and live
C
Until the day that I die
Cm G D
I swear to God I survive
Em C Cm
I swear to God I survive
Chorus:
G
I swear to God I survive
D
If it kills me to
Em
I'ma get up and try
C
If it's the last thing I do
G
I still got something to give
D
Oh, it hurts some times
Em
I'm gonna get up and live
C
Until the day that I die
Cm G
I swear to God I survive
