C# E
They broke my bones to teach me manners
C# F# G# C#
They broke my bones to drain me dry
When I think of all the lessons I’ve learned
I can’t look any woman in the eye
They broke my back to keep me company
They broke my back to build restraint
And I know I’ve got some learning to do
And I thank you, thank you all you were great
Chorus:
C# E
When you suffer
you get stronger
and stronger
F# G#
Stronger still
When you suffer
you get stronger
and stronger
pig iron will
They broke my muscles to teach me lessons
They broke my muscles to make me lean
And I guess I’m thankful for the result
But I’ll never be thankful for the means
Chorus
They whispered truths to make me bolder
They whispered truths to keep me loose
And when it was time to build my own beliefs
I whispered lies to make my truths
And when the sweet air
is caught
Every building in town
afloat
On the river
On the river still
+Chorus
