F                      Dm        F
Out on the corner with cast iron blood
F                    Dm                 F
Ten thousand or more with hearts on the run
F                        Dm       F
They say I might die and I may be cold
F                     Dm          F
I may have no Jesus I may have no soul
F                        Dm         F
In prison I hear there's time to be good
F                           Dm                    F
But the first thing you see is the last thing you should

[Verse]
F                          Dm                 F
They say there's a passing where all stand to judge
F                             Dm            F
But the devil's a waitn' with Christ like a son
F                                Dm           F
When the look comes your way you best say was I
F                        Dm              F
For the reasons you hold give reasons to die
F                            Dm          F
The callings' impatient when cause never won
F                              Dm               F
But the last one to say it may last through the flood

[Verse]
F                         Dm            F
I'm born in and weary but life's just begun
F                                 Dm         F
And I've run from the reasons and run to the gun
F                           Dm          F
They say I'm the killer and thy will be done
F                                Dm           F
And the doors won't be open when I've finally become

[Chorus]
F                        Dm            F
I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
F                      Dm        F
And the life out here is the life I've been sold
F                            Dm            F
Yah I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
F                           Dm             F
And the life in here is the life I've been told
