Chords

[Intro] (hammer ons) A [Verse]
       A                    E
Well I shake when I walk, I spin when I'm down,

  F#m                                     D
I beat my head against the wall, like the fool that I am.

        A                         E
I catch one dropping tear, in the palm of my hand,

        F#m                           D
for the rest started falling, to the ground I couldn't stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
       A                    E
On and on I declare, on and on I did beg you,

   F#m                               D
to cut my throat and bury me, in the ditch that I belong to.

         A                      E
Yeah you showed me a sign and a glimmer of light,

      F#m                            D
while some called it heaven, oh well I called them eyes.
[Chorus]
     (D)       A
Oh my lady … I never thought that I'd survive,

    E                             F#m
for when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb,

     D                       A
much less not lay down, much less stay awake.

     E                              F#m
Yeah hold your head high enough, to see what's in your way,

       D            A
if you live, if you live.
[Verse]
 (A)                         E
I followed the trail, to let my instict work,

      F#m                    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#m                              D
Yeah to roll the dice and gamble now, to never be alone.
[Pre-Chorus]
       A                    E
On and on I declare, on and on I did beg you,

   F#m                                   D
to 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#m                                D
while some called it heaven, I called it love at first sight.
[Chorus]
     (D)       A
Oh my lady … I never thought that I'd survive,

    E                             F#m
for when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb,

     D                       A
much less not lay down, much less stay awake.

     E                              F#m
Yeah hold your head high enough, to see what's in your way,

       D    A        E
if you live,  if you live.

                 D    A           E
You get what you give,  oh if you live.
[Verse]
   D                    A
So what is it worth, to stay in the dirt,

   E                                       F#m
to beat your head against the wall, like a fool that's been hurt.

   D                    A
Oh what is it worth, to stand your ground proud,

E                              F#m
dig your nails into that wall, climb and scream loud.
[Chorus/Outro]
      D        A
Oh my lady … I never thought that I'd survive,

    E                             F#m
for when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb,

     D                       A
much less not lay down, much less stay awake.

     E                              F#m
Yeah hold your head high enough, to see what's in your way,

       D    A           E
if you live,  oh if you live.

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

D    A    E
Oooh-oooh-oooh

D    A    E
Oooh-oooh-oooh
