[Verse 1]
Fm Db Ab
I fought my battles in the rain yesterday
Fm Db Ab
I fought the lions in my cage
Fm Db Ab
But do you see me lying down in defeat
Fm Db Ab
No, no, no you don’t
Fm Db Ab
Have you ever wondered why people don’t give up
Fm Db Ab
Have you ever seen me cry when the storm won’t let up
Fm Db Ab
Does it ever make a difference whether or not
Fm Db Ab
They know that the war is not lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm Db Ab
So when the storms of life try to take me over
Fm Db Ab
You can tell them that I said
[Chorus]
N.C. Ab Db2 Ab
Tell them that I’m a survivor, a fighter, alive
Ab Db2 Ab
And I’m ready to face tomorrow, a new man
[Verse 2]
Fm Db Ab Fm Db Ab
When the current tried to sweep me away I said, “God please hold me firm”
Fm Db Ab Fm Db Ab
When the waters tried to cover me I wasn’t about to drown
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm Db Ab
So when the storms of life try to take me over
Fm Db Ab
You can tell them that I said
[Chorus]
N.C. Ab Db2 Ab
Tell them that I’m a survivor, a fighter, alive
Ab Db2 Ab
And I’m ready to face tomorrow, a new man
[Bridge]
Db2 Db Eb
I know I’ve been knocked down onto my face
Fm
Slammed down onto the ground
Db Eb
And in my lowest points
Fm
You could hear me crying out
Db Eb Ab
But then God said, “Son, it’s not over yet”
[Chorus 2]
Ab Fm Db2 Ab
Tell them that I’m a survivor, a fighter, alive
Fm Db2 Ab
And I’m ready to face tomorrow, a new man
