Intro: A 

         A                  E  
 Well I shake when I walk, spit when i'm down, 
 F#                                     D 
beat my head against the wall like the fool that I am. 
       A                       E 
Catch one dropping tear in the palm of my hand, 
         F#                            D 
for the rest'd already fallen, to the ground I couldn't stand on. 

  
       A                    E       
On and on I declare, on and on I'll debate you. 
    F#                               D 
To cut my throat and bury me, in the ditch that I belong to. 
                A             E 
you showed me a sign, yeah a glimmer of light, 
                     F#              D 
while some called it heaven, oh well I called 'em eyes, 

      D       A      
Oh my lady, I never thought that I'd survive, 
E                             F# 
when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb, 
      D                       A 
much less not lay down, much less stay awake, 
     E                            F# 
and hold your head high enough to see what's in your way, 

 D           A 
if you live. 
 E 
if you live. 

      A                       E 
But I followed the trail, let my instict work, 
       F#                      D 
for a shot in the dark, or at times flush a bird. 
         A                              E 
Yeah for one special dear's hand in the palm of my own. 
    F#                                D 
you roll the dice and gamble now, to never be alone. 

       A                    E 
On and on I declare, on and on I'll debate you, 
F#                                     D 
mend this heart and pull me, from the ditch that I fell into, 
         A                            E 
yeah you showed me a sign, you were a beacon of light, 
      F#                                  D 
while some called it heaven, I called it love at first sight 

       D       A      
Oh my lady, I never thought that I'd survive, 
E                             F# 
when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb, 
      D                       A 
much less not lay down, much less stay awake, 
     E                            F# 
and hold your head high enough to see what's in your way, 

 D           A 
if you live. 
       E 
if you live. 
                  D     A 
You get what you give, 
        E 
if you live. 

D      A      E 
Ooooooh         (2x) 

    D                    A 
So what is it worth, to stay in the dirt, 
   E                                        F# 
to beat your head against the wall, like a fool who's been hurt, 
    D                    A 
oh what is it worth, to stand your ground proud, 
 E                              F# 
dig your nails into that wall, crying, screaming loud, 


         D       A      
Oh my lady, I never thought that I'd survive, 
E                             F# 
when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb, 
      D                       A 
much less not lay down, much less stay awake, 
     E                            F# 
and hold your head high enough to see what's in your way, 

 D           A 
if you live. 
 E 
Oh if you live. 
                 D     A 
You get what you give, 
        E 
if you live.
