Em            C 
Thorn in my side 
G               D 
You're always there 
Em        C 
Just to remind me 
G              D 
That I still care 
 
 
Em            C 
Thorn in my side 
G                 D 
You won't let me go 
Em             C 
Right there beside me 
G           D 
To let me know 
 
 
          C            G 
I've been pushed around 
                  D 
Been knocked down 
 
Lost a round or three 
C                       G 
Life took a couple of things I loved when I was 
D 
Too blind to see 
 
 
C     G     D 
But I'll survive 
C 
I gave up on luck 
G                     D 
But I'm still getting by 
      C    G          D 
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright 
C 
You can test my faith 
G                       D 
But you can't take my pride 
Em 
Thorn in my side 
C                 G           D 
Thorn in my side, oh, oh, oh, oh 
 
 
Em            C 
Thorn in my side 
G               D 
You just won't quit 
Em                      C 
Once in a while when I crack a smile 
G                  C 
You rub my face in it 
 
 
Em            C 
Thorn in my side 
G                 D 
You won't let me run 
 
Em               C 
God bless the fights 
G                   D 
That I've lost and won 
 
 
C     G     D 
But I'll survive 
C 
I gave up on luck 
G                     D 
But I'm still getting by 
      C     G          D 
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright 
C 
You can test my faith 
G                       D 
But you can't take my pride
