Am
I put the world on my shoulder
Don't worry, I feel no pain
I'm down on the floor, but you can be sure
I'm standing up once again
       G                  Am
Don't bother you with my troubles
       G               Am
Just try to walk in my shoes
      G                   Am
I'll keep filling up this bottle
      F             Dm                   Am
With energy that's pouring just all over me

Sometimes I feel like a boxer
Well, l can take all the heat
You knock me down, but next time around
I'll be back on my feet
You're killing me with your troubles
It's always just the same old blues
I'll keep filling up this bottle
With energy that's pouring over you and me

Chorus:
C            G            E
(Hard) hard rockin' the place
F            G      Dm       E
Wherever we go, whatever it takes
C            G            E
(Hard) hard rockin' the place
F             G         Dm    E
We rock this joint and fade away

I put the world on my shoulder
And carry on all the way
I have a laugh, just can't get enough
There's always sun after rain
I keep filling up this bottle
‘Cause l'm running empty soon
Oh yeah, here comes double trouble
Your energy is pouring just all over me

Chorus:
(Hard) hard rockin’ the place
Wherever we go, whatever it takes
(Hard) hard rockin’ the place
We rock this joint and fade away
(Hard) hard rockin’ the place
Wherever we go, whatever it takes
(Hard) rockin’ the place
We walk this road on the way
