Survivor Blues Lyrics

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: Am, G, F
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,
(add9)
Look, you want way the hell away from here?
He said you don't look that tough to me
(add9)
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
(add9)
Beneath the ring and the scar
But the left said love and the right read true
(add9)
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
A bruise, A tear
Pillowmarks
Souvenirs
Sou-venirs
