Strong

Em                    C        G
Money's been a wise buck this year
 D                                       C       Em
Now there's things in life that you've always feared
  Em                   C        G
There ain't a use to pouting around
  D                               C         G
Singing 'woe is me' until you're six feet down
   Em                   C        G
Always following the same old tracks
   D                   C           Em
Time to break off and cut a new path
  Em                    C     G
Don't put down these words I say
  D                           C        G
It takes blood and sweat to find a new way


[Chorus]
 C
You're coming on strong
                           G
I know your night's been long
                      Em     D        C
But I can see you coming around the bend
        Em    C        D
And kicking until the end
          G                 D
Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
               C
Proving them wrong
              G
Coming on strong


[Verse 2]
  Em               C      G
Every miss is a payment made
       D                    C        Em
To a debt of dues that we all must pay
        Em            C        G
Your empty coffers aren't a sign
          D                    C       G
That you haven't saved for a whole lifetime
            Em                     C        G
And you can go out swingin' to a cold dark grave
           D                   C          Em
They can never say that you didn't live brave
  Em                  C         G
Born to nothing but pain and strain
  D                C            G
Leave with grit fixed to your name


[Chorus]
  C
You're coming on strong
                           G
I know your night's been long
                      Em     D        C
But I can see you coming around the bend
      Em      D        C
And kicking until the end
          G                  D
Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
               C
Proving them wrong
             G
Coming on strong

Em     Em
Em C G D
Em C G D C G D


[Chorus]
   C
You're coming on strong
                           G
I know your night's been long
                       Em    D        C
But I can see you coming around the bend
         Em       D        C
Oh and kicking until the end
          G                    D
Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
               C
Proving them wrong
             G
Coming on strong
               C
Proving them wrong
              G
Coming on strong

Em     Em
Em C G D
