Intro: E5 G5 A5 C5 (x2)

Verse:
E5      D5
Hey now what you doing
A5                C5
Don't go down the road to ruin
E5           D5
Look back at where you came from
A5               C5
Count to ten before you go wrong

E5          D5
You had the brightest future
A5               C5
Writing songs on your computer
      E5                   D5
But you couldn't walk that extra mile
A5                   C5
And now your life is running wild

Chorus: (same as intro)
E5                     G5            A5 C5
You've gotta hold your head up high
E5                    G5           A5 C5
You know it's not too late to try
E5                     G5          A5 C5
You've gotta lift that heavy load
E5                    G5           A5 C5
You've gotta get back in control

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

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

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

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

Why don't you put that gun right down
Before you kill the love you found

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