(Chord Chart by Mohawkriverman)
(verse)
Fm Ab
Born a survivor, like father, like gun
Bb Bbm7
Built to outlast where you came from
Fm Ab Bb Bbm7
Nothing comes easy when nothing is handed to you
Fm Ab
Taught yourself how to turn the tides
Bb Bbm7
Walk ashore before the waters rise
Fm Ab Bb
Even when you're down, you're still coming through
(chorus)
Bbm7 Ab G F# Fm Eb
Making diamonds out of dust
Bbm7 Ab G F# Fm Eb
You'll shine before you turn to rust
Bbm7 Ab Bbm7 Ab
Never by the book, always underestimated
Bbm7 Ab Eb
It's hard to believe the life that you created
Fm Ab Bb Bbm7
Self made
(verse)
Fm Ab
Learned from the will of the working man
Bb Bbm7
Breaking hard ground for a piece of land
Fm Ab Bb Bbm7
Up before the sun and down before the rising moon
Fm Ab
Oh fought for the things that were never yours
Bb Bbm7
Settle for less and hope for more
Fm Ab Bb
God and pouring rain never come too soon
