Lyrics

You feel like a (Fsus2)can dle

in a (G)hur ri cane, the just like a (Fsus2)pic ture (Gsus)with in a (G)bro ken frame, a lone and help less

like (G)you’ve lost your fight, but you’ll be al (Dm7)right,

you’ll be al (F)right.

’Cause when push comes to shove, you taste what you’re made of.

You might bend ’til you break, ’cause it’s all you can take.

On your knees, you look up, de cide you’ve had e nough.

You get (Fmaj7)mad, you get (Am7)strong, wipe your (G)hands, shake it off, then you stand,

then you stand.

Life’s like a (Fsus2)nov el

with the (G)end ripped out, the edge of a (Fsus2)can yon (Gsus)with on ly (G)one way down.

Take what you’re giv en

be (G)fore it’s your gone.

And start hold in’ (Dm7)on,

keep hold in’ (F)on.

’Cause when push comes to shove, you taste what you’re made of.

You might bend ’til you break, ’cause it’s all you can take.

On your knees, you look up, de cide you’ve had e nough.

You get (Fmaj7)mad, you get (Am7)strong, wipe your (G)hands, shake it off, then you stand,

then you stand.

Life’s like a

Yeah,

then you stand.

Ev ’ry time you get up and get back in the race, one more small piece of you starts to fall in to place.

’Cause when push

then you stand,

yeah, then you stand.
