E MajorE          D MajorD              C majorC
Hey turn around man I'm gonna take you downtown
                      D MajorD
If you wanna grab a sack go ahead and do it
E MajorE           D MajorD         C majorC
My fear of death is set in place by a lie
                      D MajorD
I glorified you there's the only way of life yeah
E MajorE              D MajorD
My teeth were shakin', slowly surely anticipating
   C majorC                          D MajorD
Yeah the wrinkles on my face, they weren't from my old age
E MajorE           D MajorD
I try to understand you throwin' it away
     C majorC                           D MajorD
All your talent down the drain, and it just makes perfect sense

BB           G+G
When I look you in the eyes it takes me right back
BB           G+G
Yeah your future helps me move on from my dark past

E MajorE      D MajorD
Don't give in,
C majorC       D MajorD
It's not real,
E MajorE         D MajorD
You don't by choice,
C majorC       D MajorD
Choose to feel

E MajorE             D MajorD
Your words insane; man maybe if I was left brained
C majorC                  D MajorD
I could understand all your phony logic
E MajorE           D MajorD
I was indifferent, I saw the first time
     C majorC                       D MajorD
Come on back, Come on back, Come on back, to give you life
E MajorE              D MajorD
Hey man it's hard when that loco keeps on moving
     C majorC                       D MajorD
Got some money and some change, just to wait for my train
E MajorE             D MajorD
I try to stop me now, I'm locked and engaged
     C majorC                        D MajorD
Come on back, Come on back, Come on back and leave your pain

BB           G+G
When I look you in the eyes it takes me right back
BB           G+G
Yeah your future helps me move on from my dark past

E MajorE      D MajorD
Don't give in,
C majorC       D MajorD
It's not real,
E MajorE         D MajorD
You don't by choice,
C majorC       D MajorD
Choose to feel

E MajorE              D MajorD
We found you laying in your hotel room
      C majorC                     D MajorD
With your bible tied up because you were actin' a fool
E MajorE               D MajorD
You started shaking, you were in your bed
   C majorC                          D MajorD
Doing everything we could, just hoping that you're not dead
E MajorE               D MajorD
We dragged you out and threw you into our car
    C majorC                        D MajorD
Pushed the pedal to the floor, drove to the hospital yard
E MajorE                D MajorD
They brought you in and told us both to wait
   C majorC                  D MajorD
I was praying to myself, it's not too late
     E MajorE      D MajorD
Yeah Yeah
          C majorC

There are consequences (it's real life)
        C majorC
There are consequences (you can't escape from 'em)
       D MajorD
There are consequences
