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