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