[Verse 1]

G        Em             G      Em
How much fight have you got in you?
G        Em   G                  C    Am
How much shit are you willing to wade through?
        G                    D                   C
For the hardest thing is the only thing that you do.
        G       Em      G      Em      G         Em      G                C     Am
It is a strange kind of fix to need to bang your hands until your fingers bleed.
        G                 D                C
For the only thing is the hardest thing on you.

[Chorus]

C          Am      G  D  C
I was dreaming the other night,
   G             D           C             G
My heart stopped beating and I woke with a fright.
   D         C           G  D       C
My eyes were wet, and my throat was tight.
C
I thought I had died.

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]

        G         Em       G      Em
I would starve to death or die of thirst
    G       Em    G                      C   Am
But choking on my failures could only be worse
        G                  D               C
Than to hang to death by a noose of my own fear.
       G       Em       G     Em         G        Em      G              C  Am
In the hand of God is a razor blade and across my back He carved out His name.
      G               D                       C
And I fell down on my knees and begged Him to change me, Please.

[Chorus]

C          Am      G  D  C
I was dreaming the other night,
   G             D           C             G
My heart stopped beating and I woke with a fright.
   D         C           G  D       C
My eyes were wet, and my throat was tight.
C
I thought I had died.

[Verse 3]

   G        Em         G          Em
So how much fight have you got in you?
G        Em   G                  C    Am
How much shit are you willing to wade through?
        G                  D                 C      G
For the only thing, is the hardest thing you do.
