[Verse]
Well you Aknow those times when you feel like there's
A sign there on your back
Say's I Ddon't mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things Ego from bad to worse
You'd think they Dcan't get worse than that
And then they Ado
You step Aoff the straight and narrow
And you don't know where you are
Use the Dneedle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask Edirections from a genie
In a Dbottle of Jim Beam
And she lAies to You
That's Ewhen you learn the truth
[Chorus]
If you're Agoing through hell
Keep on going
DDon't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You Emight get out
Before the Ddevil even knows you're Athere
[Verse]
Well I been Adeep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a Dhundred different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I Eknew that if I stumbled
I'd fall Dright into the trap that they were Alaying, Yeah
But the Agood news
Is there's angels everywhere out on the street
DHolding out a hand to pull you back upon your feet
The Eone's that you been dragging for so Dlong
You're on your knees
You might as well be Apraying
EGuess what I'm saying
[Chorus]
If you're Agoing through hell
Keep on going
DDon't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You Emight get out
Before the Ddevil even knows you're Athere
Yeah, If you're Agoing through hell
Keep on moving
DFace that fire
Walk right through it
You Emight get out
Before the Ddevil even knows you're Athere

A A A A

D D D D

[Verse]

Well you know those times when you feel like there's

A sign there on your back

Say's I don't mind if ya kick me

Seems like everybody has

Things go from bad to worse

You'd think they can't get worse than that

And then they do

You step off the straight and narrow

And you don't know where you are

Use the needle of your compass

To sew up your broken heart

Ask directions from a genie

In a bottle of Jim Beam

And she lies to You

That's when you learn the truth

[Chorus]

If you're going through hell

Keep on going

Don't slow down

If you're scared, don't show it

You might get out

D A

Before the devil even knows you're there

[Verse]

Well I been deep down in that darkness

I been down to my last match

Felt a hundred different demons

Breathing fire down my back

And I knew that if I stumbled

D A

I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, Yeah

But the good news

Is there's angels everywhere out on the street

Holding out a hand to pull you back upon your feet

E D

The one's that you been dragging for so long

You're on your knees

You might as well be praying

Guess what I'm saying

[Chorus]

If you're going through hell

Keep on going

Don't slow down

If you're scared, don't show it

You might get out

D A

Before the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, If you're going through hell

Keep on moving

Face that fire

Walk right through it

You might get out

D A

Before the devil even knows you're there

[Bridge/Solo]

B G E E

[Chorus]

If you're going through hell

Keep on going

Don't slow down

If you're scared, don't show it

You might get out
