Introduction:  Em   C   G   D  

 Em                                         C 
You know the bed feels warmer
 G                           D 
Sleeping here alone
 Em                                   C 
You know I dream in colour
         G                             D 
And do the things I want
 Em 
You think you got the best of me
 C 
Think you had the last laugh
 G                                                         D 
Bet you think that everything good is gone
 Em 
Think you left me broken down
 C 
Think that I'd come running back
 G                                                                       D 
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
                                                                 Em 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
                               C 
Stand a little taller
                                   G                               D 
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
                                                             Em 
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
                               C 
Footsteps even lighter
                                   G                                 D 
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
                                                                 Em               C 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
           G                           D 
Just me, myself and I
                                                                 Em 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
                               C 
Stand a little taller
                                   G                               D 
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
 Em                                     C                                   G             D 
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
 Em                                 C                 G       D 
But told you I was moving on over you
 Em 
You didn't think that I'd come back
 C 
I'd come back swinging
 G                                                           D 
You tried to break me, but you see
                                                                 Em 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
                               C 
Stand a little taller
                                   G                               D 
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
                                                             Em 
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
                               C 
Footsteps even lighter
                                   G                                 D 
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
                                                                 Em               C 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
           G                           D 
Just me, myself and I
                                                                 Em 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller
                                   G                               D 
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
 Am 
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
 Em 
Thanks to you I'm not a broken hearted
 C 
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking bout me
 D                                                                                               Em 
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
 C           G         D 
In the end...
