Verse 1:
G             C                Am7   D
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
Bm                   G            C              Eb
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds

It gets so hard in times like now to hold on

But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God

There's people around who tell you that they know
    Bm                     G    C               Eb
And places where they send you and it's easy to go
G                       C                  Am7           D
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
    Bm                     G    C                  Fadd9
But you know you don't have to, you can just say, "No"
