Intro: Am, G, F
First verse:
[G]She wondered once ab[Am]out her luck
Put out her [G]match with a tea[F]r
She said I'm [F]bored to d[C]eath and bo[G]rn to,[C]
Look, you want wa[F(add9)]y the hell away from here?
He said yo[G]u don't look that tough to [Am]me
Lea[G]ned and lit a cig[F(add9)]arette
How 'bout you w[F]ait and se[C]e just w[G]hat you r[C]egret
[Am]Until we g[G]et what w[F]e get
[Am]Until we g[G]et what w[F]e get
Chorus:
They[G] say it makes you s[Am]tonger
[F] But first you g[C]otta su[G]rvi[C]ve
What didn't ki[F]ll you will m[G]ake you wi[C]sh you died
What didn't ki[F]ll you will [G]make you wi[Am]sh you d[G]ied[F]
Second verse:
S[G]he struggled to read his k[Am]nuckle tattoos
B[Am]eneath the [G]ring and the [F(add9)]scar
But the l[F]eft said l[C]ove and the [G]right read [C]true
She said please say y[G]ou got a [F(add9)]car
It's pa[G]rked out b[Am]ack
It's po[G]inted out of s[Am]tate
It's a [Am]recent acqu[G]isition we s[F]houl[(add9)]d probably ditch the plates
And [F]it won't get you f[C]ar enough to e[G]ver lose t[C]rack
But y[Am]eah it's plenty c[G]ar enough for [F]ne[(add9)]ver coming back
Chorus:
They[G] say it makes you s[Am]tonger
[F] But first you g[C]otta su[G]rvi[C]ve
What didn't ki[F]ll you will m[G]ake you wi[C]sh you died
What didn't ki[F]ll you will [G]make you wi[Am]sh you d[G]ied[F]
Am, G, Fadd9
Middle 8:
[Dm]Yellow duffel in the s[G]eat back yonder
[C]Bunch of pretty j[F]unk I bought her
[G]It's yours if you w[Am]ant
E[G]ither to you or the[Am] flames
But to [G]me it's the s[F]ame
She s[F]aid no thanks[C] man my ba[G]ggage is pa[C]cked
The n[F]ame on my an[C]kle with this k[G]nife in my b[F]ack
I k[F]now a [C]place on the w[G]ay out of t[C]own
[Am]It's as go[G]od as [F]burned down
[Am]It's as g[G]ood as [F]burned down
[Am]It's as good as...
Final chorus:
They[G] say it makes you s[Am]tonger
[F] But first you g[C]otta su[G]rviv[C]e
What didn't ki[F]ll[G] y[C]ou
What didn't ki[F]ll[G] y[C]ou
What didn't ki[F]ll you will m[C]ake you wi[F]sh you d[Am]ied[G] [F]

Souve[F]nirs
S[G]ou-venirs[Am]
