Misc Originals – Colby Ballowe - Between A Rock And A Scarred Place (Guitar)

     G             E
Been working, been grinding

     D           E
Been pressing my frame

       G           E
To the shape of my task

           D           E
Till we’re one and the same

     Am
What doesn’t kill you

          D
Makes you strong in the end

   G                E
So strong that your body

   D           E
Forgets how to bend

          F
Between a rock and scarred place

   E
Is where I do dwell

    F
The only way to heaven

     E
Is a truck drive through hell

     G           E
Keep at it, they say

     D          E
Keep on pushing through

G             E
Comfort’s not key

     D              E
Only hard work will do

        Am
But the oil’s all gone

        D
And the piston’s full steam

    G          E
I’m choking on fumes

       D        E
From a broken machine

          F
Between a rock and scarred place

   E
My grumbled abode

   F
My skin’s flying off

      E
Where rubber meets road

    G           E
The dregs of my body

       D         E
Are polluting my mind

   G           E
My back and my brain

     D            E
Will both snap in kind

   Am
It won’t take millions

   D
Of centuries till

    G        E
The sediment settles

 D            E
Along with my will

          F
Between a rock and scarred place

      E
Where bone rubs on bone

         F
Where my flexible parts

    E
Get ground into stone
