D A                                D
I don't care what you think or say,
A                                        D
It doesn't matter what you think it takes,
F                 D               A
I'm gonna do what I came here to do,
So you'd better move
D A                                D
'Cause I'm prepared to lose it all,
A                                      D
I'm not afraid of how far I might fall,
F
As long as I've done everything I could.

Chorus:
             F         G           A
'Cause I've waited so long for my time to come,
          F         G                A
And I've waited so long to open the door

And now it's finally opened up
And all this time I thought it was stuck shut
Can't wait around to see when it will close
I don't want to know

Chorus:
I know that I've gotta make a move
I didn't to come this far to not go through
I know exactly what I have to do

A     G     A/C#      D
One shot is all I've got
A     G     A/C#      D
One shot is all I've got,
      F            D                   A G A/C# D
So I hope that my aim is straight and true

Chorus:
Cause I've waited so long for my time to come
And I've waited so long to open the door
And I know in the end I may never be here again
So I'am not going to wait anymore
No I'am not going wait anymore

One shot is all I've got, one shot is all I've got
