Intro

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