D
Don't care what they have to say
F#m
No point in listenin' to them anyway
D
Why'd you have to give them what they want?
F#m
They love to watch you as you fall apart

Chorus:
A
Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
         G
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
A
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
G                     A#
About time take them right between the eyes

Seek to destroy cause they're scared of you
That's why they try to make a fool of you
They're so jealous of my pretty star
'Cause you've got soul inside your shattered heart

Chorus

      A                 G
And you've been waiting all your life
To fly high into somebody else
And it's true it's a cruel, cruel world
Life's a bitch and then you die, my love

Don't care what they have to say
You shouldn't listen to them anyway

Chorus

A#                 D
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes

People like to build you up
Then they'll stab you in the back like that
You know it breaks my heart
Can't see you going out like that

D               F#m
Stay alive, my love
Stay alive, my love
Stay alive, my love
Stay alive, my love
