 E - A = 4x's
 (verse 1)
Little  boy walks in with a bloody nose,
Got beat  up on his way home from school, aga-in,
His  dad caught him running out the back,
Tears in  his eyes and a baseball bat, oo revenge,
 (bridge)
Said  son I  won't stop ya, but before you go,
Let  me tell  you a little story bout the toughest man I know,
 (chorus)
You hit  him and he just turns the other cheek,
Don't  think  for a minute he was weak,
Had to  ask myself what would Jesus do, here's what I know,
 (bridge)
Whenever I'm  in doubt, I look up what he said,
It's  all  there  in the good book, in black and white and red,
 (chorus)
Hit him  and he just turns the other cheek,
Don't  think  for a minute he was weak,
Cause  in the end he showed them,
He  was  any-thing but frail,
They  hammered  him to a cross,
But he  was tougher than nails,
Yea  in the end he showed them,
He  was  any-thing but frail,
They  hammered  him to a cross,
But he  was  tougher  than nails,
Tougher than  nails,  oh, oh, oh,
