Intro: C (8x) 
 
     C         G/B                  Am 
 Sometimes the night starts closing in  
          G           F 
 And I've lost my way home again  
                    C            G 
 I'm running out of places I can turn    
C   G/B           Am 
 Enemies on every side  
       G                 F 
 Not a friend around for miles  
                    C                G 
 That's the time it really starts to hurt  
 
 Am             G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down  
      F         G        
 I'll never be afraid  

[CHORUS]

                C  
I will hold my head high  
                      G/B 
 Lift my hands to the sky  
                    Am     G        D/F# D 
 Rise above all who try to bring me down  
F       G       C 
 I will hold my head high       



C           G/B          Am 
 I know you said it'd be okay  
             G                 F 
 Sometimes I question just the same  
                C                G 
 I wonder if my problems are too small  
C            G/B         Am 
 Then I look back and realize  
          G             F 
 All your pain and sacrifice  
                C               G 
 Oh and how you suffered for us all  
 
 Am             G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down  
      F         G        
 I'll never be afraid  
 
 Chorus 
 
 Solo 
 
 Am             G/B 
 Beat me up and drag me down     
     C             G/B 
 And lock me in or keep me out  
     Am            G/B   
 Whatever they may throw at me  
      F           G 
 I'll turn into a song for you 
 
 
 Chorus(2x)
