Tonality
Chorus:
AmEm
Tough like the scuff on a pair of old leather boots
Em
Like the blue-collar, red-dirt attitude
F
Like a .38 made out of brass
CEm
Tough like the stuff in your grandpaʼs glass
Am
Lifeʼs gonna Do what it does
Em
Sure as the good Lordʼs up above
FCEm
Iʼm cut like a diamond shininʼ in the rough
Am
Tough
Tough
Verse:
Am
Come on, take a ride with me

Like the 808s beatinʼ in the trunk in Atlanta, it was tough
F
It was kinda hard for me
CEm
Crawlinʼ through the mud, I couldnʼt find love, then we came up
Am
Look at what we are, baby
Em
Standinʼ through the storm, still shininʼ like a diamond in the rough
F
Still shininʼ, and thatʼs hard
CEm
If you ever lost someonе that you love
Pre-Chorus:
Am
Through the pain, gotta show ʼem, givе ʼem light
Em
Still family if youʼre wrong or youʼre right
F
No matter, we together
CEm
Itʼs not somethinʼ that you wanna do, itʼs just somethinʼ you goinʼ through

Verse:
Am
Tell me how itʼs hard for you

Like the nickel on the strings in your good old Gibson guitar
F
Tell me what it feel like
CEm
Like the smoke in the drawl of your "Yʼall" and the way you talk slow
Am
Oh yeah, yeah
Em
Like the songs that your mama sang to you
F
And the way that it makes you tell the truth
CEmAm
If you come from where you come, then you were born tough
Bridge:
CGF
Here, say where you come from
AmG
Itʼs not what you wanna do, itʼs what youʼre gonna do
CGF
Now, itʼs no place to run
AmG
If thatʼs what youʼre gonna do, what gonna do? (Tough)

You wanna come to the Nawf? (Mm-hm)

Whenever, whenever you ready
Em

Iʼll give it back when I get there
CEmAm
Aight, thatʼs a bet
