       Em    D    G
Well, I won't back down,
      Em    D    G
No, I won't back down,

But I won't back down

And I keep this world from draggin' me down
      Em    D  G
Gonna stand my ground
      Em    D    G
And I won't back down

       Em   D      G
Well, I know what's right
          Em   D   G
And I got just one life
     Em         D        C
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
      Em    D  G
But I stand my ground
      Em    D    G
And I won't back down
