Am                      F
You know the bed feels warmer
C               G
Sleeping here alone
Am                   F
You know I dream in colour
     C               G
And do the things I want

Am
You think you got the best of me
F
Think you had the last laugh
C                              G
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Am
Think you left me broken down
F
Think that I'd come running back
C                                     G
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

Chorus:
                                  Am
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
                F
Stand a little taller
                  C                G
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
                               Am
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
                F
Footsteps even lighter
                 C                  G
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
                                  Am         F
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
      C             G
Just me, myself and I
                                  Am
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
                F
Stand a little taller
                  C                G
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on and over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You tried to break me, but you see

Chorus

Dm
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Am
Thanks to you I'm not a broken hearted
F
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking bout me
G                                                  Am
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
F      C   G
In the end...

Chorus:
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself, and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone (What doesn't kill you)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself, and I (What doesn't kill you)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (Stronger)
Stand a little taller (Taller)
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone (What doesn't kill you)

When I'm alone
