         A
Well you know those times when you feel like there's
  A
A sign there on your back
D
Say's I don't mind if ya kick me
D

Seems like everybody has
E
Things go from bad to worse
E
You'd think they can't get worse than that
              A
And then they do

    A
You step off the straight and narrow
        A
And you don't know where you are
        D
Use the needle of your compass
   D
To sew up your broken heart
    E
Ask directions from a genie
     E
In a bottle of Jim Beam
         D
And she lies to You
       D
That's when you learn the truth


Chorus:

          A
If you're going through hell
A
Keep on going
D
Don't slow down
          D
If you're scared, don't show it
    E
You might get out
           D                       A
Before the devil even knows you're there


Verse:

Well I been deep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a hundered different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled
I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, Yeah

But the good news
Is there's angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back upon your feet
The one's that you been dragging for so long
You're on your knees
You might as well be praying
Guess what I'm saying

Chorus:

If you're going through hell
Keep on going, Don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, If you're going through hell
Keep on moving
Face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Bridge:
Bm    Bm    A    A
