Intro
A D Bm A
A D E A
[Verse 1]
A D
When you're all timed out
A
And your sand's been tested
E A
Through the hands of the hourglass
A D
When you're hit with the bell
A
And the birds stop singing
E F#m
Knocked out, flat on your ass
[Verse 2]
D
When you're laid out to pasture
A
And the fields are grown barren
E A
Was they greener than your own grass?
D
When push comes to shove
A
And shove comes to blows
E F#m
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?
E
Will you turn and run away?
[Interlude]
A D A D E A
[Verse 3]
A D
When you're all dried up
A
And you take your bottom dollar
E A
To the well and you give it away
A D
When you stall on empty
A
And you burn the last gas
E F#m
At the end of the fairest way
[Verse 4]
D
When you're caught in the trap
A
And you stare down the barrel
E A
What will you have to say?
D
When push comes to shove
A
And shove comes to blows
E F#m
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?
E
Will you turn and run away?
