Lyrics

[Verse 1]
F                             Bb
 Don't be tough until you have  to
C                            Csus4
 Take your heartbreak on the chin 
F/C                          Bb
   Don't forget the shit you went through
C                              F/C Csus4
 But throw your caution to the wind
Csus4                         Bb
     Tighten up your belt and laces
C                          Csus4
 Feel the pain and feel it pass 
F/C                             Bb
   Don't be tough until you have  to
C                              F/C Csus4
 Let love knock you on your ass

[Verse 2]
F/C                          Bbsus2
   Don't be shitty to the waiter
C                              Csus4
 He's had a harder day than you
F/C                          Bb
   Don't make babies stay up later
C                            F/C    Csus4
 Just because they're so damn   cute
F/C                          Bb
   Don't say love unless you mean it
C
 Well,
                             Csus4
don't say sorry 'less you're wrong
F/C                         Bb
   Tell a story like you've seen it
C                             F/C Csus4
 Tell yourself that you belong

[Chorus]
F/C                             Bbsus2
   Don't be tough until you have      to
C                            Csus4
 Take your heartbreak on the chin 
F/C                          Bb
   Don't forget the shit you went through
C                                  F/C Csus4
 But throw your caution to the wind
F/C                         Bb
   Tighten up your belt and laces
C             C7           Csus4
 Feel the pain  and feel it     pass
F/C                         Bb
   Don't be tough until you have to
C                              F/C Csus4
 Let love knock you on your ass

[Verse 3]
F/C                      Bb
   If you get to feeling lonely
C                         F/C
 Read out loud if you can read
F/C                      Bb
   Take a nap if you get sleepy
C             C7          Csus4
 If you're hungry, try to eat  
F/C                       Bbsus2
   If you want it, go and get   it
C                          Csus4
 Don't just pray and wait around
F/C                          Bb
   Life will kill you if you let it
C
 So when you're down,
                    Csus4
then say you're down

[Chorus]
F/C                         Bbsus2
   Don't be tough until you have  to
C               C7           Csus4
 Take your heartbreak on the chin 
F/C                          Bb
   Don't forget the shit you went through
C                                  Csus4
 But throw your caution to the wind
F/C                         Bb
   Tighten up your belt and laces
C                          Csus4
 Feel the pain and feel it pass 
F/C                         Bb
   Don't be tough until you have to
C         C7                   F/C Csus4
 Let love knock you on your ass

[Outro]
F/C                         Bb
   Don't be tough until you have to
C         C7                   Csus4 F/C
 Let love knock you on your ass
