[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?

[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?
