[Intro]
D  G  A  D A
[Verse 1]
DFaded dreams and blue jeans
GA Rangers cap with sweat rings
AThere's a hole in the sole of my favorite DbootsA  
DWell I've been at it a long time
GWorking on that bottom line
AAnd every shirt I've worn,
The collar's been Dblue.
[Pre Chorus]
BmOne of these Adays I'm gonna jump right Goff that shelf
BmAnd hit the ground Arunnin'
At Gleast that's what I keep Atelling myself.
[Chorus]
I've been Dsittin' on the fence for way too Clong
GWarming that bench as chance moves on
And Abelieve me, that ain't no way to Dlive.A  
And this Dbarely gettin' by is really gettin' Cold
And it's Ghard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt
But Asomeday something's gotta Dgive.A  
[Verse 2]
DBusted hands and broken land
And black Ggold turned to sand
And the Awhiskey's the only well that's Drunning deepA  
Yeah the Ddust devils dancin' on the mesa again
At the Gmercy of that west Texas wind
And the Atumbleweeds, they seem to know more than Dme.
[Pre Chours 2]
Oh they Bmalways find their Away right out of Gtown
    BmThey never turn Aback,
They Gkeep on rolling and they Adon't slow down.
[Chorus]
I've been Dsittin' on the fence for way too long
    C  GWarming that bench as chance moves on
And Abelieve me, that ain't no way to Dlive.A  
And this Dbarely gettin' by is really gettin' Cold
And it's Ghard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt
But Asomeday something's gotta Dgive.
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I've been Dsittin' on the fence for way too long
    GWarming that bench as chance moves on
And Abelieve me, that ain't no way to Dlive.A  
And this Dbarely gettin' by is really gettin' Cold
And it's Ghard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt
But Asomeday something's gotta Dgive.A  
(repeat chorus)

[Intro]

D G A D A

[Verse 1]

Faded dreams and blue jeans

A Rangers cap with sweat rings

A D A

There's a hole in the sole of my favorite boots

Well I've been at it a long time

Working on that bottom line

And every shirt I've worn,

The collar's been blue.

[Pre Chorus]

Bm A G

One of these days I'm gonna jump right off that shelf

Bm A

And hit the ground runnin'

G A

At least that's what I keep telling myself.

[Chorus]

D C

I've been sittin' on the fence for way too long

Warming that bench as chance moves on

A D A

And believe me, that ain't no way to live.

D C

And this barely gettin' by is really gettin' old

And it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt

A D A

But someday something's gotta give.

[Verse 2]

Busted hands and broken land

And black gold turned to sand

A D A

And the whiskey's the only well that's running deep

Yeah the dust devils dancin' on the mesa again

At the mercy of that west Texas wind

A D

And the tumbleweeds, they seem to know more than me.

[Pre Chours 2]

Bm A G

Oh they always find their way right out of town

Bm A

They never turn back,

G A

They keep on rolling and they don't slow down.

[Chorus]

I've been sittin' on the fence for way too long

C G

Warming that bench as chance moves on

A D A

And believe me, that ain't no way to live.

D C

And this barely gettin' by is really gettin' old

And it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt

A D

But someday something's gotta give.

[Instrumental]

Bm A G

Bm A G D A

[Chorus]

I've been sittin' on the fence for way too long

Warming that bench as chance moves on

A D A

And believe me, that ain't no way to live.

D C

And this barely gettin' by is really gettin' old

And it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt

A D A

But someday something's gotta give.

(repeat chorus)
