I know time seems right
Bm
and the problems seem endless

and if you feel you're out the game then you need to get back in it
G
coz nothing worse than a quitter

you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
C G
so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition
C D
and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side

G D Em Bm
I'll see you when you get there
