Standard tuning
Capo 2
These chords here are the way Cory plays it in the after hours version.
For the full band version, just transpose the chords into G major (same capo).
Intro: , ,
First verse:
She wondered once about her luck
Put out her match with a tear
She said I m bored to death and born to,
Look, you want way the hell away from here?
He said you don t look that tough to me
Leaned and lit a cigarette
How bout you wait and see just what you regret
Until we get what we get
Until we get what we get
Chorus:
They say it makes you stonger
But first you gotta survive
What didn t kill you will make you wish you died
What didn t kill you will make you wish you died
Second verse:
She struggled to read his knuckle tattoos
Beneath the ring and the scar
But the left said love and the right read true
She said please say you got a car
It s parked out back
It s pointed out of state
(add9)
It s a recent acquisition we should probably ditch the plates
And it won t get you far enough to ever lose track
(add9)
But yeah it s plenty car enough for never coming back
Chorus:
They say it makes you stonger
But first you gotta survive
What didn t kill you will make you wish you died
What didn t kill you will make you wish you died

Middle 8:
Yellow duffel in the seat back yonder
Bunch of pretty junk I bought her
It s yours if you want
Either to you or the flames
But to me it s the same
She said no thanks man my baggage is packed
The name on my ankle with this knife in my back
I know a place on the way out of town
It s as good as burned down
It s as good as burned down
It s as good as...
Final chorus:
They say it makes you stonger
But first you gotta survive
What didn t kill you
What didn t kill you
What didn t kill you will make you wish you died
Outro:
You call that a scar
bruise, tear
Pillowmarks
Souvenirs
Sou-venirs
