Intro
C# F# D#m C#
C# F# G# C#
[Verse 1]
C# F#
When you're all timed out
C#
And your sand's been tested
G# C#
Through the hands of the hourglass
C# F#
When you're hit with the bell
C#
And the birds stop singing
G# A#m
Knocked out, flat on your ass
[Verse 2]
F#
When you're laid out to pasture
C#
And the fields are grown barren
G# C#
Was they greener than your own grass?
F#
When push comes to shove
C#
And shove comes to blows
G# A#m
And the maker is made at last
[Chorus]
C# F#
There's one thing that I know that I've never been told
F# C#
'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say
C# F#
Will you stand by the life that's only your own?
G#
Will you turn and run away?
[Interlude]
C# F# C# F# G# C#
[Verse 3]
C# F#
When you're all dried up
C#
And you take your bottom dollar
G# C#
To the well and you give it away
C# F#
When you stall on empty
C#
And you burn the last gas
G# A#m
At the end of the fairest way
[Verse 4]
F#
When you're caught in the trap
C#
And you stare down the barrel
G# C#
What will you have to say?
F#
When push comes to shove
C#
And shove comes to blows
G# A#m
And you fall on judgement day
[Chorus]
C# F#
There's one thing that I know that I've never been told
F# C#
'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say
C# F#
Will you stand by the life that's only your own?
G#
Will you turn and run away?
