[Verse 1]
You’ll be Cknocked out
Come around
Shot down
Shatter on the Gmstony ground
Yeah take it from Bbme
It’s how it’ll Fbe
Your dreams will Ccome true
Fall through
Screw you
Batter you to Gmblack and blue
Yeah take it from Bbme
It’s how it’ll Fbe
[Pre-Chorus]
Love’s gonna leave you Cbroken
Time’s gonna work you Gmover
You get up, you get Bbup
You keep rolling Fon
[Chorus]
Life’s gonna bring you Cglory
But there’s another side to the Gmstory 
You get up and suck it Bbup
You keep rolling Fon
[Verse 2]
But if you Ccrash land
In the Gmquicksand
I will pBbick you up 
I’ll pull you Fout
And if the Cworld shakes
Your brittle Gmheart breaks
We will Bbpatch it up
We’ll work it Fout
La Cla la la la Gmla
We will pBbatch it up 
We’ll work it Fout
You’ll be oCn track
On the rack
Bounce back
Wheeling down a Gmbumpy road
Yeah take it from Bbme
That’s how it’ll bFe
Through the Cgood times
The sad times
Oh off you Gmgo
But take it from Bbme
Whatever you Fneed
[Pre-Chorus]
Love’s gonna leave you Cbroken
Time’s gonna work you Gmover
You get up, you get Bbup
You keep rolling Fon
[Chorus]
Life’s gonna bring you Cglory
But there’s another side to the Gmstory 
You get up and suck it Bbup
You keep rolling Fon
[Verse 3]
But if you Ccrash land
In the Gmquicksand
I will pBbick you up 
I’ll pull you Fout
And if the Cworld shakes
Your brittle Gmheart breaks
We will Bbpatch it up
We’ll work it Fout
When your Cworld cracks open
When your Gmheart is broken
We will Bbpatch it up 
We’ll work it Fout

Life’s gonna bring you Cglory

We'll patch yoBbu up
We'll work it oFut
[Outro]
And if the Cworld shakes
Your brittle Gmheart breaks
I will pBbatch it up
We’ll work it Fout

[Verse 1]

You’ll be knocked out

Come around

Shot down

Shatter on the stony ground

Yeah take it from me

It’s how it’ll be

Your dreams will come true

Fall through

Screw you

Batter you to black and blue

Yeah take it from me

It’s how it’ll be

[Pre-Chorus]

Love’s gonna leave you broken

Time’s gonna work you over

You get up, you get up

You keep rolling on

[Chorus]

Life’s gonna bring you glory

But there’s another side to the story

You get up and suck it up

You keep rolling on

[Verse 2]

But if you crash land

In the quicksand

I will pick you up

I’ll pull you out

And if the world shakes

Your brittle heart breaks

We will patch it up

We’ll work it out

C Gm

La la la la la la

We will patch it up

We’ll work it out

You’ll be on track

On the rack

Bounce back

Wheeling down a bumpy road

Yeah take it from me

That’s how it’ll be

Through the good times

The sad times

Oh off you go

But take it from me

Whatever you need

[Pre-Chorus]

Love’s gonna leave you broken

Time’s gonna work you over

You get up, you get up

You keep rolling on

[Chorus]

Life’s gonna bring you glory

But there’s another side to the story

You get up and suck it up

You keep rolling on

[Verse 3]

But if you crash land

In the quicksand

I will pick you up

I’ll pull you out

And if the world shakes

Your brittle heart breaks

We will patch it up

We’ll work it out

When your world cracks open

When your heart is broken

We will patch it up

We’ll work it out

[Chorus]

Life’s gonna bring you glory

But there’s another side to the story

We'll patch you up

We'll work it out

[Outro]

And if the world shakes

Your brittle heart breaks

I will patch it up

We’ll work it out
