These are the right cords... I got them off her video
(it showed them so it wasn't a guessing game).


Capo- 3rd fret 


-Verse 1-

G                       
Found a piece of candy on the floor
C                          D   
and I couldn't resist but taste it
G
Momma wanted to smack me
                C                        D     
and that's when I made up my mind and I ate it
Em
and I have to admit it
D                                  C                  G
tasted better than the ones in the kitchen cupboard

-Verse 2-

G                                                 C                D
Every night I'd look out the bedroom window and wonder what it's like to run away
G                                       C                      D
Daddy told me he would hit me if I did it so I made up my mind and I ran away
Em                    D                                 C
and I have to admit it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be

-Chorus-
C                                D
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
          Em                    G
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
C                          D            Em    G
and with every lesson you get wiser  (wiser)
C                   D                    Em
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
        G                   C
and eat a little dirt sometimes

D  Em   G

-Verse- 

G                                         C                     D
I found a book about mystical things but momma said it's against our religion
G                                                     C                  D
So late at night I'd read it anyways and that was the last time I asked for permission
Em                       D                C
and I have to admit that I don't regret telling her lies 'cause it opened my eyes

-Chorus-
C                                D
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
          Em                    G
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
C                          D            Em    G
and with every lesson you get wiser  (wiser)
C                   D                    Em
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
        G                   C
and eat a little dirt sometimes

-Bridge-

Am                   F              Em
I won't let my years go to waste living in a cage
       G                              C
this prodigal child will always stray
                      D
I got over the stomach ache
                Em                 G                      C    D   C
wiped the mud off my face 'cause this world belongs to the brave


-Chorus-
C                                D
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
          Em                    G
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
C                          D            Em    G
and with every lesson you get wiser  (wiser)
C                   D                    Em
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
        G              C              D                               Em
and eat a little dirt sometimes ('cause this world belongs to the brave)
        G              C              D                               Em
and eat a little dirt sometimes ('cause this world belongs to the brave)
G                      C     D   Em   G     
and eat a little dirt sometimes

-Ending verse-
C                D               Em     G
Found a piece of candy on the floor
