[Verse 1]
D                               G
 His old man was a rebel yeller, bad boy to the bone, he'd say,
D                              G                                  D    G
 Can't trust that other feller, he'd judge em by the tone of their skin,
D                                    G
 He was raised to think like his dad, narrow mind and full of hate,
D                            G                                A
 On the road to nowhere fast, till the grace of God got in the way,

[Pre-Chorus]
                                   G                   D
 Then he saw the light, and hit his knees and cried and said a prayer
A                        G
 Rose up a brand new man, left the old one right there,

[Chorus]
D             A                    G
 Here's to the strong thanks to the brave,
              Bm         G      D
 Don't give up hope, some people change,
            A                 G
 Against all odds, against the grain,
             Bm        G      D      G
 Love finds a way, some people change,

[Verse 2]
D                                    G
 She was born with her mothers habit, you could say it's in her blood,
D                                   G
 She hates that she's gotta have it, as she feels her glass up,
D                                   G
 She'd love to kill that bottle, but all she could think about is a,
D                            G
 Better life a second chance, and everyone she's letting down,
G
 She throws that bottle down,

[Chorus]
D             A                    G
 Here's to the strong thanks to the brave,
              Bm         G      D
 Don't give up hope, some people change,
            A                 G
 Against all odds, against the grain,
             Bm        G      D/F#   G
 Love finds a way, some people change,

[Bridge]
G                               D/F# G
 Thank God for those who make it,
                A     D A                     G Bm   G      D
 Let them be the light,  let them be the light,  some people change,

[Chorus]
D             A                    G
 Here's to the strong thanks to the brave,
              Bm         G      D
 Don't give up hope, some people change,
            A                 G
 Against all odds, against the grain,
             Bm        G      D      A G Bm
 Love finds a way, some people change,
