Only The Strong Survive
(Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance) 



Intro: C F Bb F - (repeat after each line of verses as well)


Verse 1:
   When the pressure's on and you're all alone
   Take a little ride to the danger zone
   When the moon is high and the skies are clear
   Just show me a sign and we'll be outa here
   Dm        Bb      F          C
     Take me up on a wing and a prayer
   Dm       Bb                F            C
     If you need a friend you know I'll be there

Verse 2:   
   Hound dogs howlin' all through the night
   Eight miles high and I'm doin' alright 
   Better move over 'cause you're goin' too slow
   I feel the need for freedom now it's time to go
   Dm            Bb           F            C
     It's a fine line between pleasure and pain
   Dm         Bb                 F                   C
     Let your conscience be your guide 'til we meet again

  
Chorus:
        F              Bb             C                Dm
         Your time has come - you can stand or you can run
        F          Bb            C
         But don't keep it all inside
                      F          Bb               C               Dm
         Cause you've gotta understand that there ain't no second chance
        F            Bb           C      N.C.
         No one gets outta' here alive - only the strong survive


Verse 3:
    Tearin' it up goin' down the track 
    Gonna fly so high, I might never come back 
    If things get tough you can count me in
    Cause if you play the game you gotta play to win
    Dm        Bb            F          C
      Take me up where only angels can fly
    Dm       Bb             F                     C
      If you need a helping hand I won't pass you by

Chorus: (same as before)


Solo (repeat intro pattern)


Ending:
 
    Dm        Bb      F          C
      Take me up on a wing and a prayer
    Dm       Bb                F            C
      If you need someone you know I'll be there

        F              Bb             C            Dm
         Your time has come - you can stand or you can run
        F          Bb            C
         But don't keep it all inside
                      F          Bb               C               Dm
         Cause you've gotta understand that there ain't no second chance
        F            Bb           C      
         No one gets outta' here alive
                            F   Bb   C   Dm
         Only the strong survive
                            F   Bb   C   Dm
         Only the strong survive
                  F            Bb             C           Dm
         Well I'm doin' what I can and you've gotta' understand
         F   Bb   C
                    Only the strong survive
