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