I Gotta Change Or I'm Gonna Die

Intro [Verso 1] D G D Pain pills started for a backache, doctor dropped me like a lead weight. G D A G D Now I cop off the interstate, bout 15 miles from here. D G D I’m not the type you would expect, I work harder than a son of a bitch. G D A G D Trying to raise up these three kids, And keep em clothed and fed. [Pré-Refrão] G D What’s a man worth if he can’t work? A Bm A Was I really made as a rich man’s hammer? G D A Is this all there’ll ever be for me? [Refrão] G D A Bm A I gotta change or I’m gonna die, I wanna live so I’m gonna try, G D A Give it my best, this ain’t a test I plan to fail. G D Where I come from, they’ll break a man, A Bm A What I got now, I built with these hands. G D A I’m not afraid to get a little dirt beneath my nails, G Bm A This ain’t a test I plan to fail. [Verso 2] D G D Oxys beat me like I owed them money, Still on my feet and I feel like running, G D A G D Maybe somewhere it’s always summer, And leave these cares behind. D G D But I’ve got folks who depend on me, I rise in the dark cause I still believe there’s G D A G D Something good I just can’t see yet, Up around the bend. [Refrão] G D A Bm A I gotta change or I’m gonna die, I wanna live so I’m gonna try, G D A Give it my best, this ain’t a test I plan to fail. G D Where I come from, they’ll break a man, A Bm A What I got now, I built with these hands. G D A I’m not afraid to get a little dirt beneath my nails, G Bm A This ain’t a test I plan to fail. [Ponte] Bm A I used to never take an Advil, But if I don’t earn we don’t pay bills G A Inside I’m screaming like an anvil, When iron and hammer meet.
