Verse 1:
        A                            F#m E                      C#m              D
If it's true that a rich man leads a sad life, that's what they say, from day to day
     A                            F#m   E                  C#m                 D 
Then what do all the poor do with their lives, on judgment day with nothing to say

Chorus:
          A                  C#m                     F#m              B
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down, no I'm not down
          A                  C#m                   F#m              B    B A G# F# D C# E
I've been shown up, but I've grown up, and I'm not down, no I'm not down

Verse 2
      A                     F#m E              C#m        D
On my own I faced a gang of jeering in strange streets oh oh
        A                                   F#m  E            C#m           D
When my nerves were pumping and I fought my fear in, I didn't run I was not done

Chorus:
          A                  C#m                     F#m              B
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down, no I'm not down
          A                  C#m                   F#m              B    B A G# F# D C# E
I've been shown up, but I've grown up, and I'm not down, no I'm not down

Bridge:
          A                  C#m       Em                        D     
'Cos I've lived that kind of day, when none of your sorrows will go away
D                                        C#                                B 
It goes down and down and hit the floor, down and down and down some more, depression
A          C#m                        Em                     D
But I know there'll be some way, when I can swing everything back my way
D                            C#                            B E
Like skyscrapers, rising up, floor by floor, not giving up

Verse 3:
       A                                     F#m  E          C#m                   D 
So you rock around and think that you're the toughest in the world, the whole wide world
           A                                   F#m  E                   C#m  D
But you're streets away from where it gets the roughest, you ain't been there
 
Chorus:
          A                  C#m                     F#m              B
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down, no I'm not down
          A                  C#m                   F#m              B    B A G# F# D C# E
I've been shown up, but I've grown up, and I'm not down, no I'm not down

Ending:
       F#m E            F#m E         F#m E            F#m E
I'm not down, no I'm not down, I'm not down, no I'm not down
        F#m E            F#m E           F#m E F#m E         F#m
I'm not down, no I'm not down, no I'm not down,      I'm not down
