A D A D

[Verse 1]
A                        D
I have never had an easy life
But I'm not complaining
A                                 D
It has taught me how to stand and fight
For what i believe in
F#m
I guess that's just how i was raised
F#m                    E
I find it hard to walk away

[Chorus]
A               E
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
A               D    E
Expecting me to fall
A               E
I will not give in
                   A
I am not afraid to fight
                   D
For what i know is right
F#m
I can only take so much
And when i've had enough
E              A                 D
It's not in my blood to just lay down
D      E       A      E
I will hold my ground

[Verse 2]
A                                  D
I try my best to get through every day
Without confrontation
A                          D
Staying out of everybodies way
But then on occasion
F#m
Somebody steps across the line
F#m                           E
It's not too long before they find

[Chorus]
A               E
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
A               D    E
Expecting me to fall
A               E
I will not give in
                   A
I am not afraid to fight
                   D
For what i know is right
F#m
I can only take so much
And when i've had enough
E              A                 D
It's not in my blood to just lay down
D      E       A      E
I will hold my ground

[Solo]
A               E
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
A               D    E
Expecting me to fall
A               E
I will not give in
                   A
I am not afraid to fight
                   D
For what i know is right
F#m
I can only take so much
And when i've had enough
E              A                 D
It's not in my blood to just lay down
    E              A                 D
No, It's not in my blood to just lay down
D      E       A
I will hold my ground

N.C.
Yeah, i will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
N.C.
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
