                C             G 
Don't let them break you. 
                 F               F 
Don't let them tell you who you are. 
                          C            G 
Doesn't matter where you come from, 
                       F                 F 
you'll always have a floor to sleep on. 
                     C 
And you have your bamboo bones, 
   G 
nervous energy, 
   F 
blind ambition, 
 F 
skin of your teeth. 
      C                     G 
Push back, push back, push back, 
                            F 
with every word and every breath. 

     Am           F 
What god doesn't give to you, 
              C                G 
you've got to go and get for yourself. 

                     C 
I'm embarrassed to admit it, 
 G 
I've got no grip. 
      F              F 
I'm leading with my jaw. 
                         C 
Can you see it from a distance? 
                G 
Does it look ridiculous? 
                F                        F 
I guess that's just what I have to live with. 
                C 
Still I have a mind to think, 
  G 
knees to break, 
       F            F 
you standing beside me. 
                   C                     G 
I'm going to push back, push back, push back, 
                           F 
with every word and every breath. 

     Am          F 
What god doesn't give to you, 
              C                   G 
you've got to go and get for yourself.
