       F#m    E    A         F#m    E    A
Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
        F#m     E          D
You can stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
         F#m        E           D
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
      F#m  E   A           F#m    E    A
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
          F#m   E   A          F#m   E    A
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey, I will stand my ground and I won't back down
       F#m    E    A
No I won't back down
