[Verse]
 
Am
For my sweetheart the melancholic
 
You have crossed the River Styx
                         F
And the waves have taken you away
Am
As I lay my head on your chest
 
I can hear it in your veins
                    F
Wake me up when you come to bed
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Am
So toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
                 F
This world isn't kind to little things
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
Was my love not strong enough to
 
Bring you back from the dead?
                           F
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
Am
So I've been writing these songs for you
 
To steal you from your grave
                  F
We can dance in a front row again
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
           Am
So toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
                 F
I need you to be strong for us
           Am
So toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
                 F
This world isn't kind to little things
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am
Don't you know that when you stand
 
You stand up for the both of us?
                       F
Remember that when the darkness looms
Am
Every tear you shed is cleansing
 
Taking the pain away from you
                              F
I left you blueberries in the fridge
 
The little things that I can do
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
           Am
So toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
                 F
I need you to be strong for us
           Am
So toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
                 F
This world isn't kind to little things
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am
You're not doing this alone, you're not doing this alone
 
You're not, you're not doing this alone
 
You're not doing this alone, you're not doing this alone
 
You're not doing this alone, you're not doing
 
You're not doing this alone
   Am
Resist, resist
          F
Resist, resist
 
 
 
[Chorus 4]
 
           Am
So toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
                 F
I need you to be strong for us
           Am
So toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
 
Biko, toughen up
                 F
This world isn't kind to little things
Am
You're not doing this alone
F
You're not doing, not doing this alone
