Verse:
F                                                             F
Strong, try to make ‘em all think I’m strong
                                     C           Bb
Yeah the face I keep putting on says I ain’t tired
                    Bb
But these tear stained eyes ain’t lying

                F
‘Cause hard, 
                                                         F
nobody told me life could be so hard
                                     C
A weary soul with a worn 
            Bb
out heart that’s barely beating
                     Gm
But every time I get that feeling

Chorus:
      F
I hit my knees with my hands held high
                F                                          C       
Saying dear Lord Jesus you know I
         Bb
Can’t do this on my own
             Bb
I can’t do this on my own
                F
Lord knows I’ve tried 
                   
but I’m good at falling down
                F
Thank God 
                                                                  C
you’re good at picking me up off the ground
            Bb
The world’s gonna try to break me
               Gm
But I know the one who makes me
        F      F
Strong

Verse 2:
C       F                                                       F
  Strong, like my daddy always told me so
                                             C
There’s a place you can always 
   Bb
go when you got nothing
                         Bb     
And then he handed me the one thing

                  F                                              F
That’s strong, doesn’t matter how old it gets
                                        C
There’s power in the words 
         Bb
in red in this old Bible
                            Gm
And when I’m desperate for revival

Chorus:
      F
I hit my knees with my hands held high
                F                                          C       
Saying dear Lord Jesus you know I
         Bb
Can’t do this on my own
             Bb
I can’t do this on my own
                F
Lord knows I’ve tried 
                   
but I’m good at falling down
                F
Thank God 
                                                                  C
you’re good at picking me up off the ground
            Bb
The world’s gonna try to break me
               Gm
But I know the one who makes me
        F      C

Bridge:
             Dm
I’m strong when I got nothing
             C
I’m strong even when I’m weak
                       F/A
‘Cause the strong arms of my Savior
           Bb
Are holding on to me

Chorus:
      F
I hit my knees with my hands held high
                F                                          C       
Saying dear Lord Jesus you know I
         Bb
Can’t do this on my own
             Bb
I can’t do this on my own
                F
Lord knows I’ve tried 
                   
but I’m good at falling down
                F
Thank God 
                                                                  C
you’re good at picking me up off the ground
            Bb
The world’s gonna try to break me
               Gm
But I know the one who makes me
         F      C

         Bb

            Gm
The world’s gonna try to break me
