Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Stopped to have a few at five now you're

Crossing that center line for the third time

Second time like this this week

Had a friend ask you for your keys you said no I'm fine

You sure do act like you ain't got a thing to lose

But every car you pass might be the ones you take with you

(Chorus)

 You'd give your last breath to your wife

 Take a bullet for your kids

 Lay your life down for your country for your Jesus for your friends

There's a whole lot of things you say you're living for

 You've got to fight it somehow, stop and turn around

 'Cause this ain't nothin' to die for

So what's the harm in a little fun

'Cause you're off to work before the sun everyday

And the inbox outbox box you in

 And the money you make ain't worth the time you spend to make your pay

The doctor says man your numbers they don't lie

The graveyard's full of folks that didn't have time to die

(Chorus)

Straight through that guardrail up into that white light

You hear a sweet voice saying just this side of the other side

 Just this side of the other side

 You'd give your last breath to your wife

 Take a bullet for your kids

 Lay your life down for your country for me and all your friends

There's a whole lot of things you say you're living for

 You've got to fight it somehow, stop and turn around

 'Cause this ain't nothin' to die for
