Listen to the song for strumming and timing. The parentheses is only played the second time.

Use barre chords for the rest of the song. I didn't tab out the lead guitar.

[E] [B] [A] [A]

[C#m] [A] [E] [B]

Don't let them b[E]reak you.     [B]
Don't let them te[A]ll you who you a[A]re.
Doesn't matter where you c[E]ome from,    [B]
you'll always have a fl[A]oor to sleep on.  [A]
And you have your bam[E]boo bones,
ner[B]vous energy,
bli[A]nd ambition,
s[A]kin of your teeth.
Push b[E]ack, push back, push b[B]ack,
with every word and every br[A]eath.

What [C#m]god doesn't gi[A]ve to you,
you've got to [E]go and get for yo[B]urself.

I'm embarrassed to ad[E]mit it,
I[B]'ve got no grip.
I'm le[A]ading with my j[A]aw.
Can you see it from a dis[E]tance?
Does it look rid[B]iculous?
I guess that's j[A]ust what I have to live w[A]ith.
Still I have a m[E]ind to think,
kn[B]ees to break,
you sta[A]nding beside [A]me.
I'm going to push b[E]ack, push back, push b[B]ack,
with every word and every b[A]reath.

What [C#m]god doesn't g[A]ive to you,
you've got to [E]go and get for yours[B]elf.
