Guitar chords with lyrics

Capo on 1st fret

Intro: E D C D 2x

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

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

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

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

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

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

E                           D
We found you laying in your hotel room
           C                                         D
With your bible tied up because you were actin' a fool
E                             D
You started shaking, you were in your bed
      C                                                   D
Doing everything we could, just hoping that you're not dead
E                             D
We dragged you out and threw you into our car
        C                                               D
Pushed the pedal to the floor, drove to the hospital yard
E                               D
They brought you in and told us both to wait
      C                                   D
I was praying to myself, it's not too late
         E            D
Yeah Yeah
                    C
There are consequences (for your actions)
             D         E               D
There are consequences (it's real life)
                C
There are consequences (you can't escape from 'em)
              D
There are consequences
