Am C Dm

[Verse 1]
Am  C   Dm         Am       C          Dm
  I lost my words lingering in the dark
            Am                   C            Dm
Hard times, don't you know we've seen them all
                     Am
Ain't one to preach
              C               Bb           C
Ain't one to speak on what I don't know
                        Dm
I lay that burden down
               Am             C            Dm
With one hand, we're reaching for the sky
             Am       C             Dm
And one hand, holding on for life
                  Am      C        Bb
I won't raise my, I won't raise my white flag
C
In this life

[Chorus]
              Dm        Am      C            Dm
The moment I surrender, bury me in the ground
        Am                C            Dm
I'd die before you see me take a bow
                    Am           C       Bb
You know we all got, you know we all got, you know we all got a lot to lose
        Dm                    Am       C                 Dm
I won't surrender, praise the lord but soul to take [?]
            Am          C            Dm
Thank God I live to die another day
                    Am           C       Bb
You know we all got, you know we all got, you know we all got a lot to lose
C                  
I won't raise my white flag, 'till I'm through

Am C Dm

[Verse 2]
Am   C     Dm       Am         C             Dm
    I found my way following a trail of hurt
               Am        C                   Dm
'Cause my name ain't no stranger to the dirt
                        Am          C             Bb
It's been dragged around, it's been kicked around
                             C
They left it lyin' there for dead, whoa
Dm        Am        C               Dm
But I defy before I lose the right
                 Am            C          Dm
And take the time to watch the river rise
                  Am      C        Bb
I won't raise my, I won't raise my white flag
C
In this life

[Chorus]
              Dm        Am      C            Dm
The moment I surrender, bury me in the ground
        Am                C            Dm
I'd die before you see me take a bow
                    Am           C       Bb
You know we all got, you know we all got, you know we all got a lot to lose
        Dm                    Am       C                 Dm
I won't surrender, praise the lord but soul to take [?]
            Am          C            Dm
Thank God I live to die another day
                    Am           C       Bb
You know we all got, you know we all got, you know we all got a lot to lose
C                                     Dm
I won't raise my white flag, 'till I'm through

[Bridge]
                 Am       C        Dm
I won't raise my, I won't raise my
                 Am             C             Bb
I won't raise my white flag until I'm through
Bb
Until I'm through, yeah
Bb  C

[Chorus]
              Dm        Am      C            Dm
The moment I surrender, bury me in the ground
        Am                C            Dm
I'd die before you see me take a bow
                    Am           C       Bb
You know we all got, you know we all got, you know we all got a lot to lose
        Dm                    Am       C                 Dm
I won't surrender, praise the lord but soul to take [?]
            Am          C            Dm
Thank God I live to die another day
                    Am           C       Bb
You know we all got, you know we all got, you know we all got a lot to lose
C                  
I won't raise my white flag, no,
C                                     Dm
I won't raise my white flag, 'till I'm through

[Bridge]
                 Am       C        Dm
I won't raise my, I won't raise my
                 Am             C             Dm
I won't raise my white flag until I'm through
                 Am       C        Dm
I won't raise my, I won't raise my
                 Am             C             Dm
I won't raise my white flag until I'm through
