    (If I don't go)

Verse 1:
Am
 I grew up in a small town
                                                              C
Where drinking was religion, and religion wasn't fixing the problem
                   C
And nothing could solve 'em
Am
 We were blue collar working class
                                                  C
Us swinging the hammer was the final nail in the coffin
                      C
Plagued by political nonsense

Chorus:
    F
Oh, if I don't get up and leave
 C
God only knows where I'll be
  Gsus4
Stuck in a rut, not giving a xxxx about anything or anyone
  F
Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
         C
Devil's got his hands around my throat
       Gsus4
And I can't ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
                          F       C
If I don't go, I'm gonna die here
                          Gsus4
If I don't go, I'm gonna die here

Verse 2:
Am
 I remember the night when
                                                    C
On the West End, I hit a dead end running from the Reaper
                       C
He was dressed like a dealer
    Am
And I can't escape, my best friend only made it to eighteen
                        C
The only one who could save me, now there's no one to save me

Chorus:
F
If I don't get up and leave
 C
God only knows where I'll be
  G
Stuck in a rut, not giving a xxxx about anything or anyone
  F
Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
         C
Devil's got his hands around my throat
       G
And I can't ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
                          F        C
If I don't go, I'm gonna die here
                          G
If I don't go, I'm gonna die here
                                         F        C     G
If I don't go, if I don't go, I'm gonna die here

Bridge:

                                                              C
Where drinking was religion, and religion wasn't fixing the problem
                   C
And nothing could solve 'em

Chorus:
    F
Oh, if I don't get up and leave (Up and leave)
 C
God only knows where I'll be (Where I'll be)
  Gsus4
Stuck in a rut, not giving a xxxx about anything or anyone
  F
Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
         C
Devil's got his hands around my throat
       G
And I can't ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
                          F        C
If I don't go, I'm gonna die here
                          G
If I don't go, I'm gonna die here
