(Chord Chart by Mohawkriverman)

(verse)
Fm                    Ab   
Born a survivor, like father, like gun
Bb               Bbm7
Built to outlast where you came from 
Fm                      Ab                   Bb        Bbm7
Nothing comes easy when nothing is handed to you 
Fm                     Ab 
Taught yourself how to turn the tides 
Bb                     Bbm7 
Walk ashore before the waters rise
Fm                     Ab                  Bb   
Even when you're down, you're still coming through


(chorus)
Bbm7 Ab G  F#   Fm     Eb
Making diamonds out of dust
Bbm7         Ab G   F#  Fm      Eb 
You'll shine before you turn to rust
Bbm7         Ab           Bbm7     Ab
Never by the book, always underestimated
Bbm7                     Ab             Eb
It's hard to believe the life that you created
     Fm  Ab  Bb   Bbm7
Self made


(verse)
Fm                           Ab 
Learned from the will of the working man
Bb                         Bbm7 
Breaking hard ground for a piece of land
Fm                    Ab                     Bb         Bbm7
Up before the sun and down before the rising moon
Fm                                 Ab 
Oh fought for the things that were never yours
Bb                  Bbm7
Settle for less and hope for more
Fm                   Ab             Bb   
God and pouring rain never come too soon


(chorus)
Bbm7 Ab G  F#   Fm     Eb   
Making diamonds out of dust
Bbm     Ab  G  F#  Fm  Eb   
Who you are is who you trust
Bbm7         Ab           Bbm7     Ab 
Never by the book, always underestimated
Bbm7                      Ab            Eb 
It's hard to believe the life that you created
Bbm7           Ab       Bbm             Ab   
The impossible endeavor never would you trade
Bbm7                    Ab         Eb
It's a legacy that you take to the grave
     Fm Ab Bb Bbm7         Fm  Ab  Bb  Bbm7 
Self made,            self made

(bridge)
Fm                  Ab              Bb          Bbm7
Live and die by the chance we're taking
Fm                  Ab                 Bb         Bbm7 
Money don't buy the life that we're making
