You Get What You Give chords by Chuck Ragan

play it so i hope you will be too!

(This goes for almost all of Chuck's songs, where he does the little hammer-on
thing when he playes chords, in the a-chord, he does it with his third finger.)

Intro: A

     A         E
 Well I shake when I walk, spit when i'm down,
 F#                   D
beat my head against the wall like the fool that I am.
    A            E
Catch one dropping tear in the palm of my hand,
     F#              D
for the rest'd already fallen, to the ground I couldn't stand on.

    A          E
On and on I declare, on and on I'll debate you.
  F#                D
To cut my throat and bury me, in the ditch that I belong to.
        A       E
you showed me a sign, yeah a glimmer of light,
           F#       D
while some called it heaven, oh well I called 'em eyes,

   D    A
Oh my lady, I never thought that I'd survive,
E               F#
when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb,
   D            A
much less not lay down, much less stay awake,
   E              F#
and hold your head high enough to see what's in your way,

 D      A
if you live.
 E
if you live.

   A            E
But I followed the trail, let my instict work,
    F#           D
for a shot in the dark, or at times flush a bird.
     A               E
Yeah for one special dear's hand in the palm of my own.
  F#                D
you roll the dice and gamble now, to never be alone.

    A          E
On and on I declare, on and on I'll debate you,
F#                   D
mend this heart and pull me, from the ditch that I fell into,
     A              E
yeah you showed me a sign, you were a beacon of light,
   F#                 D
while some called it heaven, I called it love at first sight

    D    A
Oh my lady, I never thought that I'd survive,
E               F#
when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb,
   D            A
much less not lay down, much less stay awake,
   E              F#
and hold your head high enough to see what's in your way,

 D      A
if you live.
    E
if you live.
         D   A
You get what you give,
    E
if you live.

D   A   E
Ooooooh     x2

  D          A
So what is it worth, to stay in the dirt,
  E                    F#
to beat your head against the wall, like a fool who's been hurt,
  D          A
oh what is it worth, to stand your ground proud,
 E               F#
dig your nails into that wall, crying, screaming loud,


     D    A
Oh my lady, I never thought that I'd survive,
E               F#
when you hit bottom, man it's hard enough to climb,
   D            A
much less not lay down, much less stay awake,
   E              F#
and hold your head high enough to see what's in your way,

 D      A
if you live.
 E
Oh if you live.
         D   A
You get what you give,
    E
