[Verse]
        A                            F#m E
If it's true that a rich man leads a sad life
                 C#m             D
That's what they say from day to day
     A                            F#m   E
Then what do all the poor do with their lives?
                C#m              D
Have nothing to say on Judgement Day?
[Chorus]
          A                  C#m
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
            F#m           B
But I'm not down, I'm not down
          A                  C#m
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
            F#m           B
And I'm not down, I'm not down
[Verse]
      A                     F#m E              C#m      D
On my own I faced a gang of jeering in strange streets
        A
When my nerves were pumping and I
          F#m  E            C#m
Fought my fear in, I didn't run
          D
I was not done
[Chorus]
          A                  C#m
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
            F#m           B
But I'm not down, I'm not down
          A                  C#m
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
            F#m           B
And I'm not down, I'm not down
[Bridge]
           A
And I have lived
             C#m
That kind of day
     E                    D
When none of your sorrows will go away
D
It goes down and down and hit the floor
C#m
Down and down and down some more
B
Depression
A                      C#m
But I know there'll be some way
     E                      D
When I can swing everything back my way
D
Like skyscrapers rising up
C#m                               B    E
Floor by floor, I'm not giving up
[Verse]
       A
So you rock around and think that
           F#m  E
You're the toughest
       C#m                    D
In the world, the whole wide world
           A
But you're streets away from where
            F#m  E
It gets the roughest
               C#m     D
You ain't been there
[Chorus]
          A                  C#m
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
            F#m           B
But I'm not down, I'm not down
          A                  C#m
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
            F#m           B
And I'm not down, I'm not down
[Outro]
        F#m
I'm not down
        E
I'm not down
