v.1
Well I ^Emwon't ^Dback ^Gdown, no I ^Emwon't ^Dback ^Gdown
You can ^Emstand me ^Dup at the ^Cgates of hell
But I ^Emwon't ^Dback ^Gdown

No, I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
An' I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground, and I won't back down

Chorus:
[I won't back ^Cdown]Hey, ^Dbaby
^CThere ain't no easy way ^Dout
[I won't back ^Cdown]Hey, ^DI will ^Emstand ^Dmy ^Gground
[I won't back down]An' I ^Emwon't ^Dback ^Gdown

v.2
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground, an' I won't back down
