Capo: 6th fret
[Verse 1]
G
Me and Hannah did everything together
Em
Said we'd be best friends forever
C
Then her momma got a job that was better
G
across the parish line
D G
I was one summer shy of eleven
Em
when granddaddy took a ride up to heaven
C
it ain't ever been an easy lesson
G
on how to say goodbye
D Am
They say what don't kill you makes you stronger
C
and I believe that's right
[Chorus]
C
For every low down beating this old hearts taken
G
whisper in the dark says I won't make it
Em
I know it's just the devil
G D
doing what he does trying to make me suffer
C
no matter what the battle is keeping me praying
G
I gotta be strong I gotta keep saying
Em D
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
C D G
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
[Verse 2]
G
I'm a sucker for a boy with blue eyes
Em
A pair of boots and an old 4-wheel drive
C
so when I saw you in the July moonlight
G
I thought, "Oh good Lord."
D G
I let you lay that sunkiss on me
Em
and open up that truck door for me
C
now I find out that I ain't the only
G
girl you're doing that for
D Am
you're gonna get a good cry from me tonight
C
but nothing more
[Chorus]
C
For every low down beating this old hearts taken
G
whisper in the dark says I won't make it
Em
I know it's just the devil
G D
doing what he does trying to make me suffer
C
no matter what the battle is keeping me praying
G
I gotta be strong I gotta keep saying
Em D
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
C D G
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
[Bridge]
Em D
Than anything you throw my way
C
Yeah I might bend, but I won't break
Em D
You ain't the first,won't be the last
C
to make me feel this way
[Chorus]
C
For every low down beating this old hearts taken
G
whisper in the dark says I won't make it
Em
I know it's just the devil
G D
doing what he does trying to make me suffer
C
no matter what the battle is keeping me praying
G
I gotta be strong I gotta keep saying
Em D
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
C D Em
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
C D
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
Me and Hannah did everything together, said we'd be best friends forever
Then her Mama got a job that was better, cross the parish line
And I was one summer shy of eleven
When Granddaddy took a ride up to Heaven
It ain't ever been an easy lesson, on how to say goodbye
They say what don't kill ya makes ya stronger, and I believe that's right
For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
I'm a sucker for a boy with blue eyes, a pair of boots and an old four-wheel drive
So when I saw you in the July moonlight, I thought oh good Lord
I let you lay that sun kiss on me, and open up that truck door for me
Now I find out that I ain't the only girl you're doin that for
You're gonna get a good cry from me tonight, but nothin more
For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
Than anything you throw my way, yeah I might bend but I won't break
You ain't the first, won't be the last to make me feel this way
For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
