[Verse 1]
tornado
tore through a Midwest town
Wasn't nothin' in it's path
it didn't take down
'Ept the [F]Baptist church
and a ball field
Then they rebuilt
Talk [C]about tough people

[Verse 2]
She was [C]four years old when
they got the news
It was in her little lungs, it was stage two
[F]Mama spent every night by her bed
And daddy shaved his head
Talk [C]about tough people
Yeah, there were [Dm]plenty of times
she could've [C]gave up
But she did[F]n't
Nah, she fought [Dm]like hell 'til
she rang [C]that bell in Mem[F]phis

[Verse 3]
[C]Oh, there's a [F]whole lotta bad
in the world out there
[C]Oh, and it's [F]hard to keep goin'
when it don't seem fair
[G]Keep on fighting when you're
back's against the wall
[F]Keep on getting back up when you fall
[G]Keep on keeping your head held high
'Cause [Am]I sti[G]ll bel[C]ieve[F]
Hard work pays off
Good beats evil
And tough times make tough
[G]people
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
[F]
[C]It's a single mom working
two jobs a day
And a farmer barely getting
by needing rain
It's a [F]grandma waiting tables
working through the pain
It's a cop on a call running
in gun drawn
'Cause a shooter's in

[Verse 5]
a schoolhouse hallway
[C]Oh, there's a [F]whole lotta bad
in the world out there
[C]Oh, and it's [F]hard to keep goin'
when it don't seem fair
[G]Keep on fighting when
you're back's against the wall
[F]Keep on getting back up when you fall
[G]Keep on keeping your head held high
'Cause [Am]I sti[G]ll bel[C]ieve[F]
[C]Hard work [F]pays off
Good beats evil
And tough times make tough
[C]people[G][F]
Oh, tough [Am]people[G]
[C]Yea[F]h

[Verse 6]
He was [C]dog tags, boots,
and Army green
Shipped off somewhere
to keep us all free
Came [F]back in a box with a flag on it
Hits home don't it
Talk [C]about tough [G]people[F]
Man, talk about [C]some tough people,
[G]hey[F]

[Verse 7]
[C]Oh, there's a [F]whole lotta bad
in the world out there
[C]Oh, and it's [F]hard to keep goin'
