Intro: A G# F# B X2 B A G# F# D C# E
Verse 1:
A F#m E C#m D
If it's true that a rich man leads a sad life, that's what they say, from day to day
A F#m E C#m D
Then what do all the poor do with their lives, on judgment day with nothing to say
Chorus:
A C#m F#m B
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down, no I'm not down
A C#m F#m B B A G# F# D C# E
I've been shown up, but I've grown up, and I'm not down, no I'm not down
Verse 2
A F#m E C#m D
On my own I faced a gang of jeering in strange streets oh oh
A F#m E C#m D
When my nerves were pumping and I fought my fear in, I didn't run I was not done
Chorus:
A C#m F#m B
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down, no I'm not down
A C#m F#m B B A G# F# D C# E
I've been shown up, but I've grown up, and I'm not down, no I'm not down
Bridge:
A C#m Em D
'Cos I've lived that kind of day, when none of your sorrows will go away
D C# B
It goes down and down and hit the floor, down and down and down some more, depression
A C#m Em D
But I know there'll be some way, when I can swing everything back my way
D C# B E
Like skyscrapers, rising up, floor by floor, not giving up
Verse 3:
A F#m E C#m D
So you rock around and think that you're the toughest in the world, the whole wide world
A F#m E C#m D
But you're streets away from where it gets the roughest, you ain't been there
Chorus:
A C#m F#m B
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down, no I'm not down
A C#m F#m B B A G# F# D C# E
I've been shown up, but I've grown up, and I'm not down, no I'm not down
Ending:
F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E
I'm not down, no I'm not down, I'm not down, no I'm not down
F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m
I'm not down, no I'm not down, no I'm not down, I'm not down
