INTRO
F, C, Dm, Bb [x2]

F
I've been kicked right down
I've been spat in the face
I've been pulled, weighed down
To the lowest place

C
I've been lied to, shamed
I have been disgraced
Been ex-communicated from every holy place

Dm
I've been beat up and robbed
I've been left for dead
For the way I look 
For the things I said

Bb
When trouble thinks it's found us
The world falls down around us 
I promise baby you won't ever
You won't ever feel a thing


Chorus:

F            C
Cause I will take it on the chin
D, Bb,     F
   Eh, for you
   C                         Eb   Bb 
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
F         C                Eb    Bb
I promise you won't feel a thing
F                 D
Cause everything the world could throw
C                                       Bb      D
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow for you.
C
For you.


F
I've been cleared on the street
I've been left in the cold
Had my dreams held up
Had them shot full of holes

C
I've been laughed at, burnt, beat and butt of the joke
I've been lit up in flames
I have gone down in smoke

Dm
I've been stabbed in the back
While they promised the earth
Tried to keep my head high
For all I am worth

Bb
Outside our double glazing
I know a war is raging
I promise baby you won't ever
You won't ever feel a thing


Chorus.

F            C
Cause I will take it on the chin
D, Bb,     F
   Eh, for you
   C                         Eb   Bb 
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
F         C                Eb    Bb
I promise you won't feel a thing
F                 D
Cause everything the world could throw
C                                       Bb      D
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow for you.
C
For you.


Middle 8:

Dm,  C, Gm, Bb     
Yeah.
Dm
And if I fall here
                               C
At least you know my dear that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing
Gm
And if I fall here
                               Bb
At least you know my dear that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing


Chorus.

F            C
Cause I will take it on the chin
D, Bb,     F
   Eh, for you
   C                         Eb   Bb 
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
F         C                Eb    Bb
I promise you won't feel a thing
F                 D
Cause everything the world could throw
C                                       Bb      D
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow for you.
C
For you.

F               D
Yeah everything the world could throw
C                                          Bb      D
I'll take the sticks, I'll take the stones for you
C
For you
