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