Phil Pritchett
Tougher Than The Rest


           Dm  
She's got a face
A           Dm        A
That knows no concept of fear
Dm                A           Dm            A     
Even criminals and never-do-wells vanish each time she appears
Dm                      A               Dm    A
She's got a reputation as somebody who knows how to get things done
Dm                A                        Dm
She's got a habit of pickin up red hot pots and pans
                     A
With her bare hands, just for fun


Bridge 1:

F             C               G      D
She doesn't care about all of the everyday stresses
F           C                G        A
She's a bag of nails beneath her colorful dresses
     Dm              A
She's tougher than the rest(much tougher)
Dm             A  
Tougher than the rest(much tougher)
Dm         A                Dm        A
A little hardship brings out her best, her best


(Riff)- at bottom


Aw, fever, I'm at 105 degrees
I got the sweats and the shakes 
And the pain in my neck, back, and in my knees
And any diagnosis will show that psychosis 
Is the cause of my grief
But she's the one who fills me up 
With all of the strength, hope, and belief

Bridge 2:

She doesn't care about the things that make us worry
She can run around at speeds and never hurry
She's tougher than the rest(much tougher)
Tougher than the rest(much tougher)
A little hardship brings out her best, her best

(Riff) + Solo

The spirit in her is holy
She drinks her beer slowly
She lights the candles in her room 
With a strike of a match
The band helps me say it
My guitar helps me play it
Keep the bass low down 
And stay on the high hat for God sakes

She's tougher than the rest(much tougher)
Tougher than the rest(much tougher)
A little hardship brings out her best, her best
Heyyy, Heyyy, Heyyy
