Intro: Em G Am C }x2

 Em      Dsus2
Hey now what you doing
 Am                C
Don't go down the road to ruin
 Em           Dsus2
Look back at where you came from
 Am               C
Count to ten before you go wrong

 Em          Dsus2
You had the brightest future
 Am               C
Writing songs on your computer
       Em                   Dsus2
But you couldn't walk that extra mile
 Am                   C
And now your life is running wild

 Em                     G       Am C
You've gotta hold your head up high
 Em                    G       Am C
You know it's not too late to try
 Em                     G      Am C
You've gotta lift that heavy load
 Em                    G       Am C
You've gotta get back in control

 Em          Dsus2
The things you say to me
 Am               C
What is it that your eyes see
 Em          Dsus2
Is it love or is it hate
 Am               C
Banging on an open gate

 Em          Dsus2
Hey now, who's that with you
 Am               C
What's that thing I saw him give you
 Em          Dsus2
Turn round don't come no closer
 Am               C
You took it from my shoulder holster

 Em                     G       Am C
You've gotta hold your head up high
 Em                    G       Am C
You know it's not too late to try
 Em                     G      Am C
You've gotta lift that heavy load
 Em                    G      Am C
You've gotta get back in control

 Em                     G        Am C
You've gotta hold your head up high
 Em                    G       Am C
You know it's not too late to try
 Em                     G      Am C
You've gotta lift that heavy load
 Em                    G       Am C
You've gotta get back in control

 Em          Dsus2
Why don't you put that gun right down
 Am               C
Before you kill the love you found

 Em          Dsus2
Hey now what you doing (what you doing)
 Am               C
Don't go down the road to ruin
