C#
Me and Hannah did everything together
                   A#m
Said we'd be best friends forever
                      F#
Then her momma got a job that was better
                  C#
across the parish line
G#                C#
I was one summer shy of eleven
                       A#m
when granddaddy took a ride up to heaven
                      F#
it ain't ever been an easy lesson
                  C#
on how to say goodbye
 G#                 D#m
They say what don't kill you  makes you stronger
   F#
and I believe that's right

Chorus:
F#
For every low down beating this old hearts taken
C#
whisper in the dark says I won't make it
   A#m
I know it's just the devil
                              C#       G#
doing what he does trying to make me suffer
    F#
no matter what the battle is keeping me praying
   C#
I gotta be strong I gotta keep saying
     A#m                                    G#
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
         F#  G#                 C#
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher

I'm a sucker for a boy with blue eyes
A pair of boots and an old four-wheel drive
So when I saw you in the July moonlight
I thought oh, good Lord
I let you lay that sun kiss on me
And open up that truck door for me
Now I find out that I ain't the only
Girl you're doin that for
You're gonna get a good cry from me tonight
But nothin' more

Chorus

       A#m                 G#
Than anything you throw my way
     F#
Yeah I might bend, but I won't break
    A#m                     G#
You ain't the first, won't be the last
    F#
to make me feel this way

Chorus:
F#
For every low down beating this old hearts taken
C#
whisper in the dark says I won't make it
   A#m
I know it's just the devil
                              C#       G#
doing what he does trying to make me suffer
    F#
no matter what the battle is keeping me praying
   C#
I gotta be strong I gotta keep saying
     A#m                                    G#
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
         F#     G#              A#m
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
         F#     G#
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
