Tone: [C]
#Intro
[Am7] [C]
#Verse 1
[Am] I grew up in a small town
Where drinking was religion, and religion wasn't fixing the pr[C]problem
And nothing could s[C]solve 'em
[Am] We were blue collar working class
Us swinging the hammer was the final nail in the c[C]coffin
Plagued by political n[C]nonsense
#Chorus
Oh, [F]if I don't get up and leave
G[C]God only knows where I'll be
St[Gsus4]Stuck in a rut, not giving a xxxx about anything or anyone
Dr[F]Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
Devil's g[C]got his hands around my throat
And I c[Gsus4]can't ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
If I don't go, I'm gonna d[F]die here [C]
If I don't go, I'm gonna d[Gsus4]die here
#Verse 2
[Am] I remember the night when
On the West End, I hit a dead end running from the R[C]Reaper
He was dressed like a d[C]dealer
And [Am]I can't escape, my best friend only made it to eighteen
The only one who could s[C]save me, now there's no one to save me
#Chorus
[F]If I don't get up and leave
G[C]God only knows where I'll be
St[G]Stuck in a rut, not giving a xxxx about anything or anyone
Dr[F]Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
Devil's g[C]got his hands around my throat
And I c[G]can't ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
If I don't go, I'm gonna d[F]die here [C]
If I don't go, I'm gonna d[G]die here
If I don't go, if I don't go, I'm gonna d[F]die here [C] [G]
#Bridge
[Am] I grew up in a small town
Where drinking was religion, and religion wasn't fixing the pr[C]problem
And nothing could s[C]solve 'em
#Chorus
Oh, [F]if I don't get up and leave (Up and leave)
G[C]God only knows where I'll be (Where I'll be)
St[Gsus4]Stuck in a rut, not giving a xxxx about anything or anyone
Dr[F]Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
Devil's g[C]got his hands around my throat
And I c[G]can't ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
If I don't go, I'm gonna d[F]die here [C]
If I don't go, I'm gonna d[G]die here
#Outro
