Intro: G Bb Eb F x4

        Eb 
I can't blame you but it's a shame
                     F
you can't cover your ass sometimes.
                  Eb                                        F
It's that kind of town and you're so far down you can't get up.
           Eb                            F
I can't tell you what to sell and how to tow the line
                        G         F
and when to just give up.
Eb                          F
Calling out to everyone who tried to run. You tried to run.

G       Bb      Eb         F     G     Bb      Eb   F
Don't be so easy on yourself
        G       Bb        Eb          F      G     Bb      Eb     F
'cause this one might be all that you have left.
G       Bb       Eb        F     G     Bb      Eb      F
Rearrange the voices in your head and remember what they said.
G       Bb       Eb        F     G     Bb      Eb      F
Don't be so easy on yourself.

           Eb
You got it down, you been around
               F
and you won't change your life
            Eb                                F
for redneck cops and traffic stops and residue
            Eb                                    F
but I can't tell you all the hell they'll put you through inside
                          G        F
and what they'll do to you.
Eb                                   F
Ten years down the road you'll find you're left behind. You're left behind.

G       Bb      Eb         F     G     Bb      Eb   F
Don't be so easy on yourself
        G       Bb        Eb          F      G     Bb      Eb     F
'cause this one might be all that you have left.
G       Bb       Eb        F     G     Bb      Eb      F
Rearrange the voices in your head and remember what they said.
G       Bb       Eb        F     G     Bb      Eb      F
Don't be so easy on yourself.

Eb                           F
Calling out to everyone who tried to run. You tried to run.
