Lyrics

You know the bed feels warm er

(C)sleep ing here a lone.

You know I dream in col our

and (C)do the things I want.

Think you got the best of me, think you’ve had the last laugh.

Bet you think that ev ’ry thing (G)good is gone.

Think you left me bro ken down, think that I’d come run ning back.

Ba by, you don’t know me, ’cause you’re (G)dead wrong.

What does n’t kill you makes you (Am)strong er, stand a lit tle (F)tall ler, does n’t mean I’m (C)lone ly when I’m a lone.

What does n’t kill you makes a (Am)fight er, foot steps e ven (F)light er, does n’t mean I’m (C)o ver ’cause you’re gone.

What does n’t kill you makes you strong er, strong er, just (C)me, my self and I.

What does n’t kill you makes you (Am)strong er, stand a lit tle (F)tall er, does n’t mean I’m (C)lone ly when I’m a lone.

I’m not a (Am)lone.
