Intro
C F Dm 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 Am
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 Am
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 Am
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 Am
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?
