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