Intro
G C Am G
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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?
