To Play Without A Capo Transpose +4 Steps.
Intro
Verse 1
Clock On The Wall Ticks Holes In My Day
Steel Cap Boots By The Back Door Lay
High Vis Shirt Still Stained From Last Nights Grind
Red Dirt Caked Into A Tired Young Spine
Boss Man Barking Through A Cracked Phone Line
Sayin’ Son You’re Lucky If You’re Pulling In Time
If This Is All That I’ve Got For My Prime
Drop Me In The Ground Before I Toe That Line
Chorus
If I Give Up On The Fire Inside
Trade My Name For A Barcode Life
Pack My Dreams In A Box Out Back
Let ‘Em Rust With The Tools And The Unpaid Tax
If You See Me Sink See The Light Leave My Eyes
Don’t Wait For The Hearse
Bury Me Alive
Verse 2
She Wants A Nice White Fence, Neat Front Lawn
Same Four Walls Where The Daylights Gone
Fake Smiles On A Saggin’ Shelf
I’m Thinkin’ This Life Belongs To Someone Else
She Says “Grow Up You Cant Chase That Sky”
No One Gets Rich Off A Worn Out Rhyme,
If I Stop Singing Just To Toe That Line,
Throw A Little Dirt Over This Back Of Mine.
Chorus
If I Give Up On The Fire Inside
Trade My Name For A Barcode Life
Pack My Dreams In A Box Out Back
Let ‘Em Rust With The Tools And The Unpaid Tax
If You See Me Sink See The Light Leave My Eyes
Don’t Wait For The Hearse
Bury Me Alive
Bridge
Cover Me In Red Dirt Not In Cheap White Lies
Don’t Dress My Fear Up In A Suit And Tie
If I Ever Say This Is Good Enough Mate
Zip That Bag, Nail That Crate
So If You Catch Me Numb With A Vacant Stare
Signing My Soul For A Folding Chair
Do Me One Last Favour When I Flatline Inside
Skip The Speeches Mate
Bury Me Alive
Chorus
If I Give Up On The Fire Inside
Trade My Name For A Barcode Life
Pack My Dreams In A Box Out Back
Let ‘Em Rust With The Tools And The Unpaid Tax
If You See Me Sink See The Light Leave My Eyes
Don’t Wait For The Hearse
Bury Me Alive
Chorus
If I Give Up On The Fire Inside
Trade My Name For A Barcode Life
Pack My Dreams In A Box Out Back
Let ‘Em Rust With The Tools And The Unpaid Tax
If You See Me Sink See The Light Leave My Eyes
Don’t Wait For The Hearse
Bury Me Alive
