First you weigh up your commitments where your loyalties really lie
And if you bump into Jesus you just look him in the eye
ETeBll Bmaj7him that you’re fine silently return to sharpening your knife
EFiF#nalGmly F#wheEn the time comes think of who you really need
 E   F#   B-Bmaj7  
And close your eyes so tightly you think they’ll bleed
Don’t drop your guard don’t let them know the thoughts inside your head
Just do what you’ve always done though they all wish you were dead
they’ll crush your heart your spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead
And you know when the time comes there’ll be nowhere new to hide
He’ll just be in your heart and you’ll lose pride

Never break the line
never click your heels in time
If your heart’s anything like mine that’s not the way
Don’t get comfortable down there
don’t pretend that it’s always fair
with your fingers crossed it’s not your loss
F# Em7 - Run up to F#m7
If you really want to you can stay
You can stay
