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