(Intro.)
None
 
(Verse)
(Em)Dear life
You (Bm)knocked me down a few times
(C)You're tough
But I'm (G)getting bettter at (Em)getting back up
And (Bm)looking at you (C)like a half (G)full cup

(Verse)
(Em)Dear life
I (Bm)still got a lot of miles to (C)go
Bur I've (G)seen a few of the punches (Em)you throw
And I (Bm)know there's more coming down the (C)road
But I just want you to (G)know

(Chorus)
You can bring the (Em)heat take it up another (Bm)level
This ain't the first (C)time I've danced with the (G)devil
You can try to (Em)break me anyway you (Bm)can
But I got the (C)man upstairs on my (G)side
Might not always (Em)be in between the straight and (Bm)narrow
Might get knocked (C)off the right path when the (G)wind blows
But when it (Em)all goes wrong I'm gonna (Bm)hang on tight
Even (C)if I'm holding (G)on for dear life (Em) (Bm) (C) (G)

(Verse)
(Em)Dear life
(Bm) Don't give a damn what the (C)anchor man airs
(G) I know there's more than bad (Em)news out there
(Bm) And I know they say (C)you ain't fair
Hell but (G)I don't care

(Chorus)
You can bring the (Em)heat take it up another (Bm)level
This ain't the first (C)time I've danced with the (G)devil
You can try to (Em)break me anyway you (Bm)can
But I got the (C)man upstairs on my (G)side
Might not always (Em)be in between the straight and (Bm)narrow
Might get knocked (C)off the right path when the (G)wind blows
But when it (Em)all goes wrong I'm gonna (Bm)hang on tight
Even (C)if I'm holding (G)on for dear (Em) life

Might not always (Em)be in between the straight and (Bm)narrow
Might get knocked (C)off the right path when the (G)wind blows

Even (C)if I'm holding (G)on for dear (Em) life (Bm) (C) (G)
