Verse I
( E )     A                                   F#m  E 
If it's true  a rich man leads a sad life,
                  C#m             D
that's what the say from day to day
      A                            F#m   E
then what do all the poor do with their lives 
             C#m                 D
on Judgement Day with nothin' to say?

Chorus
          A                 C#m        
I've been beat up I've been thrown out 
              F#m            B
but I'm not down  oh, I'm not down
              A               C#m
I've been shown up but I've grown up and 
         F#m              B 
I'm not down oh I'm not down
B/A  B/G#  B/F#  D  D/C#  E
Verse II

On  My own I faced a gang of jeering

In strange streets oh

When my nerves were pumping and I fought my fear in

I did not run, I was not done

Chorus

Bridge
E      A                 C#m
Yes I lived that kind of day
     Em7                   D
when none of your sorrows will go away
              
go down and down and hit the floor,
D/C#
down and down and down somemore
B
Depression
A                           C#m                 Em7
But I know, there'll be someway when I can swing everything 
D                                      
back my way Like skyscrapers rising up 
D/C#                            B   E
floor by floor, not giving up
Verse III
So you walk around and
think that you're the toughest
In the world, the whole wide world
But You're streets away from where it gets the roughest
You ain't been there.
Chorus
