[Verse 1]
[C]When I fear the fu[Bb]ture and what [C]it might be
I miss [Bb]the present and all the beauty
Heaven sent, [Bb]there it [C]went[Bb][C][Bb]
[F]One [C]more time and ef [Bb]fort
goes into try[C]ing
Trying just to [Bb]get by and
I'm slowly dying
I'm in the mood for a [Bb]new attitude
[C]I'm staring down at the [Eb]door
[Bb]Well, I'm not runnin' any[F]more
[C]Well, I've been scared too [Eb]long
This [Bb]time I will endure it
I will [F]be strong,
I'm starin' down the [C]dog[Bb][C][Bb]
[C]Well, I was a [Bb]young boy [Eb]out on a j[C]ourney
Well, my mama [Bb]loved me,
but she was [C]not with me
When I heard the bark[Bb]ing on
North 5th
[C]Avenue
I was out[Bb]numbered, four legs to two
[C]Amazing grace, I won that [Bb]race
But now [C]I'm staring down the [Eb]dog
[Bb]Well, I'm not running anymore[F]
[C]Well, I've been scared too [Eb]long
This [Bb]time I'm willing, going,
I will [F]be strong
I'm starin' down the
[Bb]dog[F]
[C]I'm starin' down the [Eb]dog
[Bb]Well, I'm not runnin' anymore,[F] no, no
[C]Well, I've been scared too [Cm]long[Eb]
This [Bb]time I will endure it
I will [F]be strong, I'm star[Bb]ing down it
[C]I'm staring down the [Eb]dawn[Bb][Eb]
[Bb]And I'm not running anymore[F]
No, [C]no, I've been scared too [Eb]long
This [Bb]time I will endure it
I will [F]be strong, I'm staring down
I [F]will be strong, I'm staring down
[Bb]We'll be strong, I swear it down,
[C]dow[F]n[Bb]
